The entries to be found here do not go into great depth, but the book makes a more than worthwhile and relatively light read as well as a work of reference. It also provides an incentive to seek out other works on the subject in more detail. Most of the entries are followed by one or more recommended source works for greater in-depth study.
For further reading on two of the murder investigations mentioned in this book, we also recommend [[The Poisoner: The Life and Crimes of Victorian England's Most Notorious Doctor by Stephen Bates]], about the notorious Dr William Palmer; and [[The Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale]], which examines the Constance Kent affair. [[Murders of London: In the steps of the capital's killers by David Long]] deals with several killings from medieval times to the present. For fiction, you might enjoy [[A Perilous Undertaking (Veronica Speedwell Mystery) by Deanna Raybourn]]. We think you'll also appreciate [[The Petticoat Men by Barbara Ewing]].
