About this audiobook
A mother, a daughter, and the man who comes between them—what begins as a scandalous liaison in 1870s Montpellier and Marseille descends into theft, conspiracy, and a murder that shocks France. Drawn from H. B. Irving’s classic 1918 collection A Book of Remarkable Criminals, this riveting narrative examines the triangle of Léon Vitalis, Madame Boyer, and her teenage daughter Marie, tracing how jealousy and greed corrode conscience step by step—until a brutal killing, a botched concealment, and a sensational trial at Aix lay bare the darkest corners of human desire. With the elegance of a crime historian and the momentum of a thriller, Irving reconstructs every turn: the convent-bred heiress, the calculating bookseller, the dysfunctional household, the grim dismemberment and discovery, and the stark sentences that followed. Greg Cooper’s measured, atmospheric narration brings period France, courtroom drama, and the psychological stakes vividly to life. Essential listening for fans of historical true crime and narrative nonfiction.
