In 1861, the police of a rural French village tore their way into the woodside home of Martin Dumollard. Inside, they found chaos. Paths had been carved through mounds of bloodstained clothing, reaching as high as the ceiling in some places.
The officers assumed that the mysterious maid-robber had killed one woman but failed in his other attempts. Yet, it was becoming sickeningly clear that there was a vast gulf between the crimes they were aware of and the ones that had truly been committed.
Would Dumollard’s wife expose his dark secret or was she inextricably linked to the atrocities? Whatever the circumstances, everyone was desperate to discover whether the bloody garments belonged to some of the 648 missing women.
Crimson Petticoats is a chilling account of Martin Dumollard and one of the most disturbing true crime stories in French history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
CAUTION: This book contains descriptive accounts of torture, abuse, and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen any further.

De profundis, indeed!

The book also delves into the debate of nature versus nurture and the descriptions of the scholars of the time are probably some of the first records of this ongoing debate.
Mr. Green has done a lot of research into this story, digging through historical records and filling in blanks along the way in order to make it highly readable. Some might fault the author for "embellishing" the facts, but for anyone who enjoys reading true crime, often involving little known events, I highly recommend any of his books.
The narrator, Steve White, has become the voice for Mr. Green's true crime books and he does his usual fantastic job with this one. His performance with perfect pacing and voice makes an already great book even better!
