Description
Did she do it? This book explores five historical true-crime tales with women at their heart -- from a case of 'poison panic' in 19th century Essex to a pre-War murder that tragically tore a Dorset family apart. Using fresh research and interviews with descendants of those involved, this book delves deeper into each crime, while also looking at our changing attitudes to women who have found themselves at the centre of our darkest dramas.
