Tales of infidelity and greed, corruption and deceit run throughout – but was justice served for all? Descendants of those convicted revisit each case in search of answers.Based on extensive research, including original court records and interviews with descendants, Murder, Mystery and My Family 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.With forewords by barristers Jeremy Dein QC and Sasha Wass QC, Murder Mystery and My Family offers fascinating tales of justice served and justice denied, a book both gripping and heartbreaking in equal measure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
