~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In April 2006, Mary Turner Thomson received a call that blew her life apart. The woman on the other end of the line told her that Will Jordan, Mary’s husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married to her for 14 years and they had five children together. The Bigamist is the shocking true story of how one man manipulated an intelligent, independent woman, conning her out of £200,000 and leaving her to bring up the children he claimed he could never have. It’s a story we all think could never happen to us, but this shameless con man has been doing the same thing to various other women for at least 27 years, spinning a tangled web of lies and deceit to cover his tracks. How far would you go to help the man you love? How far would he go to deceive you? And what would you do when you found out it was all a lie?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating tale of the truth gleaned from the lies, August 27, 2008

By	Boo - See all my reviews

The most shocking aspect to this true-life tale is that Will Jordan has absolutely no remorse, compassion, or guilt - his lies were clearly so beguiling because no sane person would ever suspect anyone would go to such unbelievable lengths of sustained deception. Read this book then tell everyone you know about what happened to these women (for there are multiple victims of this crime and Mary TT tells more than her own story) and send them out to buy it, for the reader recognises that no one is immune to the workings of a sociopath. I was fortunate enough to meet the author recently, and thankfully she has emerged from what she describes as the prison this man kept her in and is rebuilding her life. She is a confident, witty and intelligent woman and one of the best things to come from this brutal experience is that telling the stories that had been previously kept hidden has led to her new career and her talent is now being harnessed as a writer. Looking forward to the next book Mary.
