Old Timey Crimey #9: Edith Thompson, Freddy Bywaters, and a Murderous Affair

It's time for 50 Shades of Murder! This week, Scott and Kristy hop back to England for a purported new age muddled with the scandals of old. Join us for the steamy affair between Edith Thompson and her young lover, Freddy Bywaters--and the tragedy that resulted. He's her toyboy, and the society women of England are drooling all over him even as he stands trial.

P.S.: Always burn your lover's letters, darling.
