Murder by the Book
Early on the morning of May 6, 1840, the elderly Lord William Russell was found in his London house with his throat so deeply cut that his head was nearly severed. The crime soon had everyone, including Queen Victoria, feverishly speculating about motives and methods. But when the prime suspect claimed to have been inspired by a sensational crime novel, it sent shock waves through literary London and drew both Dickens and Thackeray into the fray. Could a novel really lead someone to kill? In Murder by the Book, Claire Harman blends a riveting true-crime whodunit with a fascinating account of the rise of the popular novel and the early battle for its soul among the most famous writers of the day.
Murder Book
Why is it so much fun to read about death and dismemberment? In Murder Book, lifelong true-crime obsessive and New Yorker cartoonist Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell tries to puzzle out the answer.

A Famous Nottingham Murder
Poisoners are usually both clever and devious. 'Nurse' Waddingham was certainly not the former, but definitely the latter. September 1935 brought to Nottingham what would prove the most famous murder in the City during the inter-war years. This centred on a 'bogus' Nurse named Dorothea Nancy Waddingham and her lover Ronald Joseph Sullivan. And the kind act of an invalid resident in the un-registered Nursing Home at 32 Devon Drive, Sherwood. Until now this callous murder has been written about most inaccurately in anthologies of murder. Now a new book written by Stephen Morris, a medical author for 45 years, with a clinical eye for significant medical, forensic and legal detail, clearly relates the true facts. This is a definitive account of the Coroner's Inquest into the death of Ada Baguley and the participants of this and the trial of Waddingham and Sullivan in February 1936.
