THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER : A SHOCKING MURDER AND THE UNDOING OF A GREAT VICTORIAN DETECTIVE
by Kate Summerscale

A murder was committed in an English manor house in 1860. The victim was a three-year-old child, who was found on the grounds in the privy, with his throat cut.
Jonathan Whicher, Scotland Yard's finest detective, was sent to investigate. He had a tremendous career solving the most heinous crimes, always able to connect the dots.
Whicher turned Road Hill House upside down questioning the inhabitants, searching for clues, digging away until he finally reached a conclusion.
Kate Summerscale's THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER is a mesmerizing tale that keeps you in suspense.
The author includes plans of the house, photos of some of the family and investigators and a few drawings.
A great book that you just cannot put down.
