The Bigamist

The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayal

De: Mary Turner Thomson

Narrado por: Mary Turner Thomson

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.

True story

Great storytelling by the victim . Very interesting details of her life story, and lessons taught to future victims

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.

Absolute proof there are monsters disguised as hum

I applaud Mary's courage in her willingness to share her journey with us! I hope her willingness to educate others about this helps her healing and gives others a touch stone to grab onto
You are in my prayers!!

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.
