Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Unsworth opens this complex crime novel with the mythology of evil that surrounds teenage murderer, Corrine Woodrow ("Killer Corrine"), and then takes us back and forth, in a parallel narrative, to the 15-year-old she was in 1983, and the woman she has become in a secure unit in 2003, "bloated from two decades of meds".
A private detective revisits her crime after DNA evidence throws up another unidentified set of fingerprints. A dark tale that delicately captures an era, and the toxic power battles between teenagers.
