However, even if you do not live around the corner, this book is fascinating. It is true crime meets historical biography meets social history with a dash of literary analysis thrown in. It is thoroughly researched, beautifully described and written with an underlying compassion and humanity that is a delight. Altogether, a very satisfying read.
For more true crime we can recommend [[Dorset Murders (True Crime History) by Nicola Sly|Dorset Murders]] and [[Bristol Murders by Nicola Sly|Bristol Murders]] both by Nicola Sly. You might also enjoy [[The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas]].
