They include the cases of Elizabeth and Betty Branch, a mother and daughter who beat a young servant girl to death in Hemington in 1740; 13-year-old Betty Trump, whose throat was cut while walking home at Buckland St Mary in 1823; factory worker Joan Turner, battered to death in Chard in 1829; George Watkins, killed in a bare knuckle fight outside the Running Horse pub in Yeovil in 1843; Mary Fisher, stabbed to death by her husband in Weston-super-Mare in 1844; and an elderly landlady, Mrs. Emily Bowers, strangled in her bed in Middlezoy in 1947. This carefully researched, well-illustrated, and enthralling text will appeal to anyone interested in the shady side of Somerset's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Van Der Kiste,Nicola Sly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750947950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750947954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.40d","brand":"John Van Der Kiste","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965734306047,"sku":"9780750947954","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_540077b6-12bc-486a-a6b3-5684302d6c9a.jpg?v=1767284443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/somerset-murders-john-van-der-kiste-9780750947954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
