Ninety-year-old Daphne Saint Clair has just confessed to being a serial killer. But someone else has been keeping score. Typically, no one bats an eyelid when a care home resident dies in their sleep. But then the dead man’s late-in-life companion confesses to his murder. And to many more. Daphne St Clair is finally ready to share her story. And podcaster Ruth King is the person Daphne chooses to tell it. As each murder is revealed and each episode lands, the country is soon swept up in the most sensationalised serial killer investigation in living memory. Is Daphne a feminist icon taking revenge on bad men? Or just a ruthless criminal? And as the season finale approaches, it soon becomes clear neither woman has been honest with the other. After all, is murder really the darkest secret you can hide?
