Victorian Murder: True Crimes, Confessions and Executions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530296194)

Step back, if you dare, into the murky world of late Georgian and early Victorian English murder.This book is a collection of facsimiles of authentic nineteenth century crime reports or 'Catchpennies'; the tabloid press of the day. They describe hideous crimes, lurid confessions and public executions, in over sixty once notorious but now largely forgotten cases, such as the the Railway Carriage Murder, the sinister 'Burker' murders, the Edgware Road murderer, and the Esher child killer. This book will be an important addition to the library of any connoisseur of Victorian crime.
