“Dolly’s Secret in the Attic”

This week on Menopause is Murder, Marguerite spins the jaw-dropping tale of Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich — the woman who proved that love truly knows no bounds… not even the rafters of her own home! When Dolly’s husband thought he was the man of the house, little did he know there was another man quietly creaking above his head. Literally.

Join Angela as she gasps, giggles, and occasionally mutters, “Girl, what were you thinking?” while Marguerite peels back the layers of this scandalous story of secret lovers, attics, and a house that was way too crowded for comfort.

Because when it comes to passion, murder, and menopause… you never know who might be hiding in the attic. 🔪💋
