Francis Mawson Rattenbury was born in Leeds in 1867. He began his career as an architect in the UK but moved to Canada in 1891. He designed the Parliament Building in Victoria, Canada, which is beautiful. He also designed the Fairmont Empress Hotel, another beautiful building, and did work for the railway company. He married Flory, before divorcing her amid a cheating scandal. He treated Flory exceptionally poorly, especially after leaving her. He married his mistress, Alma, in 1925, immediately following his divorce. That saying "you lose them how you get them" applies here, as Alama began an affair with their chauffeur/handyman, George Stoner. Rattenbury was assaulted in a fit of jealousy by Stoner, subsequently dying. This book covers the relationship between Alma and George Stoner, the murder of Rattenbury, and the court case. I will not spoil the conclusion here, but it took a turn I was not expecting.

I have had this book on my Audible for some time, and finally got around to it at work yesterday. I have been slowly working my way through all of the things I bought during the last big sale. This book was something like six hours of listening time. It kept me entertained for my shift, and definitely threw me for a loop there towards the end. I was pleased with this book
