Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! We are back with season four and here to make you question everything. In our first book series of the season we take a dive into Savage Appetites: Four True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession by Rachel Monroe. This episode covers part one of this book; the detective. Covering our main story of Frances Glessner Lee who made her mark on forensics with her miniature mock-ups of crime scenes. We question our own opinions on this archetype and take a brief detour into Alice Bolin’s book Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession.
This episode contains foul language, discussions about murder, rape, and women’s role in true crime. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
