Description
FROM BRITAIN'S TOP-SELLING TRUE CRIME WRITER WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE WINNER OF THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK GALAXY BOOK OF THE YEAR, BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 'A classic' JOHN LE CARRÉ 'Terrific' IAN RANKIN It is midnight on 30 June 1860 and all is quiet in the Kent family's elegant house in Road, Wiltshire. The next morning, however, they wake to find that their youngest son has been murdered. Even worse, the guilty party is surely one of their number - the house was bolted from the inside. As Jack Whicher, the most celebrated detective of his day, arrives to track down the killer, the murder provokes national hysteria at the thought of what might be festering behind the doors of respectable middle-class homes. A body, a detective, a country house steeped in secrets and a whole family of suspects - this true story is the original Victorian whodunnit.
