Description

Set in three beautiful claw foot bathtubs, and based on the “Brides in the Bath” murders investigated by Scotland Yard in the 1910s. Three women are found drowned in their baths without a struggle: their life savings gone, their life insurance claimed, and all recently married to the same man. Surfacing drenched from the still waters of these final baths, Alice, Bessie, and Margaret deliver their post-mortem testimony and tell how they became wooed, wed, insured, and dead.
