Just watched ep. 1 of #AThousandBlows. Love a drama based on historical characters & this looks a very good one.
If you want to know the true story of #MaryCarr & #40Elephants I thoroughly recommend reading #QueensOfTheUnderworld by @caitlindavies.bsky.social

looking forward to this! great that the all female crime syndicate the #FortyThieves are finally getting better known, in the upcoming #AThousandBlows - their true story is in #QueensoftheUnderworld www.caitlindavies.co.uk/queens-of-th... #womenshistory #truecrime #femalecrooks

Just found out that Bess Sedgwick, the adventuress in #AgathaChristie's At Bertram’s Hotel, was based on Noreen Harbord, 1950s smuggler whose story I tracked down in #QueensoftheUnderworld. How many other real-life women inspired the Queen of Crime? Podcast here www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0MR...
