Widow of Walcha: A True Story of Love, Lies and Murder in a Small Country Town by Emma Partridge

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good to near fine condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The Widow of Walcha is a shocking true story about death, love and lies in the small NSW town of Walcha.

All farmer Mathew Dunbar ever wanted was to find love and have his own family. That’s why, just months after meeting Natasha Darcy, the much-loved grazier didn’t hesitate to sign his multi-million-dollar estate to her. When Mathew died in an apparent suicide soon afterwards, in a stranger-than-fiction twist, Natasha's estranged husband, whom she was once charged with trying to kill, was the first paramedic on the scene after the murder.

Journalist and author Emma Partridge travelled to the cool and misty town of Walcha in the Northern Tablelands of NSW in the months after Mathew Dunbar's death, drawn by the town's collective worry that Natasha was going to get away with murder.

Partridge spent months researching the case, interviewing Mathew’s friends, family and Natasha herself to uncover her sickening web of lies and crimes.

The Widow of Walcha is about one of the most extraordinary criminal trials in Australia’s history and reveals Natasha’s sickening crimes against those she claimed to love, fuelled by her obsession with money. (back cover)
