Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Reprint. Collected together in this book are nerve-jangling accounts from a century of murder. Taken intact from the Telegraph's superlative domestic crime pages, they range from the lurid, through the chilling, to the touching and sometimes tragic. The author looks at the background to the murders and the evolving ways of reporting them and introduces us to some of the influential figures - from judges to executioners - responsible for their trial and sometimes capital punishment.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

The fifth in the popular series of true crime anthologies provides confirmation of Sherlock Holme's belief that 'the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside'. Again favouring murders of 'the old-fashioned sort', Mr. Goodman has gathered accounts of thirteen crimes that were committed in or near country houses - most of them in Britain but also in America and France. A few of the cases remain officially unsolved - but among those are cases that seem to display a miscarriage of justice, in that an apparently guilty person, though charged, got off scot-free. Whether your regular abode is rural or urban - whether or not you are a fan of Agatha-Christie-style fiction set in country houses, you wiil, we feel sure, enjoy this bumper collection of true stories of murder in agricultural places. Very slight shelf wear to D/J.
