Meshel Laurie's Nitty Gritty Committee

What makes a murderer? Ask Emily Webb. The true crime writer has been fascinated with murder since she was a kid, and now, she spends her days inside libraries, researching the stories of missing persons and strange deaths. From the woman who chopped her husband's head off and cooked it in a pot, to a nurse whose shift was dubbed "the death shift", she's written for years about the chilling dark heart of Australia. We delve deep into the stories that shocked a nation, the still unsolved murders in quiet Aussie suburbs, and how true crime can sometimes be stranger than fiction.Buy her books, Murder in Suburbia, Suburban Nightmare and Angels of Death here.Leave comments on Meshel's facebook pageAnd her twitter is herePlease leave a review and a rating for this show in itunes.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
