In this twisty Southern Gothic thriller, Rachel Hawkins gives us murder, manipulation, and a haunted mansion full of secrets—and we are so here for it. This week, we’re diving deep into The Heiress, where the legacy of Ruby McTavish looms long after her death. Was she a calculating monster or a woman rewriting her own story?

We unpack:

• That WILD memoir twist (yes, we’re going full spoiler mode)

• Cam and Jules: victims, enablers, or something in between?

• Feminist revenge or generational curse?

• Similarities to the real life Bobby Dunbar case (check Morbid Podcast Ep.645 for more)

If you love a morally gray woman, a creepy estate, and a plot that keeps you guessing till the end—you’re going to want to listen.
