About this listen

Now airing as the three-part documentary series The Other Mrs Jordan on ITVX.

From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: this is truth far stranger than fiction.

When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who’d given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic.

Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world.

And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as ‘the other Mrs Jordan’…

In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he’d said, from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating truth—but she tells it for one reason: she too was once a strong, independent woman who would have read all this and thought It could never happen to me…

Revised edition: Previously published as The Bigamist: the true story of a husband’s ultimate betrayal, this edition of The Bigamist includes editorial revisions.

Scam artist awareness

Anyone who goes online to find dates, love, etc. beware.
These losers start by stringing their victims step by step.
The world would be a better place without them . . . Except we wouldn’t know how vulnerable we are without them.

Well Written, Fascinating, & Informative

Mary's story is both heart breaking and uplifting. How she has managed to bring such positivity to her life after all she has been through is simply amazing. I applaud her for her strength to overcome and her selflessness in sharing her story to help others.

Stranger than fiction

The author having been conned was devastating. Her book is a triumph over evil. People like Will truly are dangerous.

Brilliantly Written

This book is a cautionary take about the dangers of online dating as well as not knowing enough about someone you are dating. Background checks may be very helpful in this day and age. The bigamist was the most toxic person I have ever heard of. It is an almost unbelievable story. It is a riveting book.

A sad, interesting and educational story

I appreciate that the author went into such detail because she clearly laid out how the con can happen over time. Her narration was well done and I can’t understand the 2 star ranking of that portion of some reviews. One thing I noticed in her story was how he canceled the first date with Mary and one of his other victims. I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but it could show the con artist who is “understanding” and possibly would be an easier mark.

Amazing and Insightful!

I hope the author has profited from her experience with this audiobook.
This would make a great documentary and I’d encourage the author to pursue that possibility.
I am impressed by the courage of Mary Thomson in bringing this story out and would pray that she and her children will get by in life.
The author was the perfect narrator and it would have been terrible if someone else were telling the story.
Thank you Mary Turner Thomson!
