Publisher's Summary

The Widow of Walcha is a shocking true story about death, love and lies in the small NSW town of Walcha.

All farmer Mathew Dunbar ever wanted was to find love and have a family of his own. That’s why, just months after meeting Natasha Darcy, the much-loved grazier didn’t hesitate to sign over his multi-million-dollar estate to her.

When Mathew died in an apparent suicide soon afterwards, in a stranger-than-fiction twist, Natasha's estranged husband—who she was once charged with trying to kill—was the first paramedic on the scene after the murder.

Journalist and author Emma Partridge travelled to the cool and misty town of Walcha in the Northern Tablelands of NSW in the months after Mathew Dunbar's death, drawn by the town's collective worry that Natasha was going to get away with murder. Partridge spent months researching the case, interviewing Mathew’s friends, family and Natasha herself in an attempt to uncover her sickening web of lies and crimes.

The Widow of Walcha is about one of the most extraordinary criminal trials in Australia’s history and reveals Natasha’s sickening crimes against those she claimed to love, fueled by her obsession with money.

    With more twists and turns than imaginable

    A very well researched, written and told story. Emma Partridge, you should be congratulated on your skills as a leading criminal journalist in pulling this tale together so brilliantly. Jo, your audible narration was superb. Compelling from start to finish.

    A truely incredible story.

    This is an amazing journey told in such an insightful way by the author. It reveals with much detail how this case unfolds from so many aspects. I could hardly believe it is actually a true story and could not stop listening. I highly recommend.
