Product Description

Product Description

Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most notorious murders in Gloucestershire's history. The cases covered here record the county's most fascinating but least known crimes, as well as famous murders that gripped not just Gloucestershire but the whole nation. From the Cheltenham torso murder to William Harrision, the Campden Wonder (who walked back into Chipping Campden two years after three men were executed for killing him); from poaching near Stroud to poisoning in the Forest of Dean, this is a collection of the county's most dramatic and interesting criminal cases. Linda Stratmann has gone back to original records and documents to uncover the truth about these extraordinary crimes. Using contemporary illustrations and tracing the stories through the words of those who were actually there on the ground, she re-creates the drama of case and courtroom. Gloucestershire Murders is a unique re-examination of the darker side of the county's past.
