59. The Brides in the Bath Murders

While the Great War rages on across the Channel, tragedy strikes on a chilly afternoon in London where a newlywed is found dead in the bathtub, a mere day into her honeymoon. But not all is as it seems, an article in a tabloid newspaper raises suspicions and brings to light two more unusual, unlikely and eerily similar demises of two more blushing brides. Enter a real-life Sherlock Holmes and the hunt for the serial killer (and bigamist) George Joseph Smith... H orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.    Hosted by Katie Charlwood   Tell me where to go on tour!
