Summary

Molly and Geoffrey dive into one of the most shocking cases to ever hit the quiet seaside town of Eastbourne. Meet Dr John Bodkin — a respected GP, a trusted figure in his community... and a killer hiding in plain sight. How does a man sworn to save lives turn into a cold-blooded murderer? What drives a doctor to betray every oath he’s ever taken? This is a story of arrogance, deception, and the ultimate abuse of trust. Brace yourself — because once you hear what Bodkin did, you’ll never look at your doctor the same way again.
