"Stellar cast and a good story that starts with the crime and then provides the background. This is a fictionalized murder story about the last woman to be hanged in Britain. She is young , pretty and ambitious and has a tendency to fall for abusive men who are attracted to the class difference. Britain can be exhausting. "
