It’s the latest in a series of roles as criminals in ITV dramas, including prolific serial killer Rose West in Appropriate Adult and Maria Marchese, the London resident jailed for her terrifying stalking of an ex-boyfriend, in U Be Dead. Anne acted surprised when her husband reappeared and John claimed he suffered from amnesia but the police had been investigating Anne for a while. The boys have reconciled with their mother since, with Anne later admitting that lying to her sons was “something that I will live to regret for the rest of my time”.The new certificate was folded and refolded many times and rubbed into a grubby bit of carpet to look old and worn.

The blurb for the book reads: “After years of remaining silent, Anne Darwin finally reveals the truth behind the crime that tore her family apart. On 9 March 2006, Darwin is reported to have signed a planning objection to a neighbour's building work using a false name.Former doctor's receptionist, Anne had let her sons believe their father had died and not involved them in the ruse. He loved how the hero trawled graveyards looking for the headstone of a baby boy who, had he not died, would have been about the same age as the assassin, and whose identity could be adopted. Panama really did look like the perfect place for us to start afresh, especially when John found out that if you set up a corporation there your assets couldn't be touched, even in the case of a legal action from abroad.

I had not followed Anne's story before, so I kept an open mind about her part in her husband's fake disappearance, and the false claims she made to the police, banks and insurance companies.
