All farmer Mathew Dunbar ever wanted was to find love and have a family of his own. Thats why, just months after meeting Natasha Darcy, the much-loved grazier didnt 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.

Journalist and author Emma Partridge travelled to the cool and misty town of Walcha in the NSW Northern Tablelands shortly 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 Mathews 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 Australias history and reveals Natashas sickening crimes against those she claimed to love, fuelled by her obsession with money.
