Download or read book Derbyshire Murders written by Martin Baggoley and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derbyshire Murders brings together fifteen of the county's most extraordinary and shocking cases. The crimes covered made not just local but in some cases national headlines. For this fascinating, illustrated collection, Martin Baggoley has returned to original sources - including police interviews, trial transcripts and contemporary newspaper reports - to rebuild each story from scratch. Cases include a murder and robbery committed in 1842 in Stanley, and the murder of a police constable in Derby in 1879. Although the killer was sentenced to death, he was reprieved after it was revealed how the jury had reached their decision: they drew lots and tossed a coin. Also included are cases from Belper, Chesterfield, Bonsall, Glossop and Ilkeston. This unique re-examination of the darker side of Derbyshire's past is sure to appeal to all those interested in the shady side of the county's history.

Download or read book MOSTLY MURDER written by Elizabeth Brassington and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of short stories contains twelve murders which are dark, and with bizarre and unexpected endings. The villains are motivated by revenge and lack any feelings for their victims. The behaviour within the stories is so outrageous that the murderous activities described start to become humorous. In some the story-lines descend into pure farce. The collection sends up many of the characteristics of the classic ‘whodunnit’, such as having a quirky detective on the case. Several of the stories in the collection deal with actual and imagined deaths in a more serious tone and treat the perception of guilt within these situations. Some tales vividly portray real events which took place in the author’s childhood in Nottingham, and this personal experience provides an authentic background to the other fictional stories.
