So how did she end up in prison for it?
Anna Sinfield - the journalist behind the global number 1 podcast, The Girlfriends, returns with her toughest story yet. This series isn&rsquo;t a whodunnit.

Before too long they form a club dedicated to bitching about Bob, eating noodles and figuring out what happened to his wife, Gail.
In this riveting nine part series, Carole Fisher uncovers the truth of Gail Katz&rsquo;s death, the systems that failed her and all the girlfriends that brought her justice.
