Lucy Worsley meets the woman at the centre of a murderous Victorian love triangle. Lucy is hot on the heels of Maria Manning, the ‘Lady Macbeth of Bermondsey’, who in 1849 London confounded expectations of Victorian England. Maria is accused of conspiring with her husband to kill her lover and steal the dead man’s money before going on the run. Lucy is joined by literary superstar Kate Mosse and historian Professor Rosalind Crone to untangle this remarkable story.
