Dulcie Bodsworth was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia thought of her as kind and caring. That was one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. This is both an evocative insight into the harshness of life on the fringes of Australian society in the 1950s, and a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail.
