Author: Lucy Worsley
Title: The Art Of The English Murder
Description: Pegasus Books 2014 Hardback. Murder—a dark, shameful deed, the last resort of the desperate or a vile tool of the greedy. And a very strange, very English obsession. But where did this fixation develop? And what does it tell us about ourselves? In The Art of the English Murder, Lucy Worsley explores this phenomenon in forensic detail, revisiting notorious crimes like the Ratcliff Highway Murders, which caused a nation-wide panic in the early nineteenth century, and the case of Frederick and Maria Manning, the suburban couple who were hanged after killing Maria's lover and burying him under their kitchen floor. DJ. Dust jacket damaged by sticker; cover bumped. (ISBN: 9781605986340). Good.
