Product Description

Product Description
'I am the other Mrs Jordan.' In April 2006, Mary Turner Thomson received a call that was to blow her life apart. The woman on the other end of the line calmly told her that she and Will Jordan, Mary's husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married for fourteen years and had five children together. The Other Mrs Jordan is the shocking true story of how one man manipulated an intelligent, independent woman, conning her out of GBP200,000 and leaving her to bring up the children he originally claimed he was physically incapable of fathering. It's a story that we all think could never happen to us, but before dismissing her as easily duped and desperate, read how this shameless conman has been doing the same thing to various other women for at least 26 years and how he concocted the most intricate of cover stories, claiming to be a CIA agent to explain his frequent mysterious absences. In what is a cautionary tale about the perils of online dating, this book exposes a life-shattering con by an expert charmer. It is also the story of Mary's fight to reclaim her life. How far would you go to help the man you love? How far would he go to deceive you? And what would you do when you found out it was all a lie?

About the Author
Mary Turner Thomson was brought up in Edinburgh and worked as a marketing consultant, business adviser and motivational trainer. A proud mother of three children, she is now rebuilding her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible tale of our time, 12 Jun 2007
By Mrs. Ht Thomson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book, and found it to be an amazing page-turner! It is a fascinating tale of our time, beautifully articulated and insightful in its presence. At the beginning of the book, we are left thinking - 'well, she believed him' - but by the end we understand why. Mary Turner Thomson has written a heart-felt account of the perils, misfortunes and consequences of our daily actions, and explained these against a backdrop of trust, common humanity and decency. I applaud her...

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the next person who says trust me., 30 May 2007
Heard an interview with the said MR JORDAN on the radio late one night while driving home from work. I was fascinated by the in's and out of how a person/partner could provide so much deception and deceit and live with all the lies. The author explained how plausible the lies were and more worryingly how a person could consistantly without consciousness for others, (those he supposedly loved)weave a web of a fabricated lifestyle and persona. The thing that caught me was that I heard it mentioned that 4 out of 10 people are sociopaths and it made me think who in the board room is undiagnosed, how many of my friends and family have sociopathic tendancies and more importantly Am I a Sociopath???? I was captivated by the authors interview and although this is about bigamy and betrayal and I guess more likely to be picked up by female (possibly scorned)readers,as a male reader I can't wait so try and understand what makes a sociopath tick and look for the signs in those I choose to trust. Hope the book is written as well as the interview was conducted.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, 14 Aug 2007
By David A. Richardson "Darich" (Near Lanark, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had heard "The Other Mrs Jordan" aka Mary Turner Thomson being interviewed on the radio late one night and listened to the amazing story she told the presenters.
I had to buy the book and don't regret it for a minute. An insight into how sociopaths operate and how they use unbelievable tactics to maintain their story and hide the truth even going as far as physical harm.
Stopping at nothing purely to achieve wehat he wanted, Mr Jordan, comes across as a lovely guy but underneath is a different person.
A highly recommended book and well worth a read for both men and women.
