When John Hassett was murdered in his Adelaide hotel room, Australia wasn’t faced with a whodunnit but a whydunnit. Why had his wife Ada committed this cold-blooded crime? Is she was insane, what had broken her mind? For the first time, Ada’s tragic history is laid bare - and it speaks directly to issues still making world headlines in 2025.
