Shropshire Murders, Paperback / softback Book

Shropshire Murders Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Shropshire Murders brings together numerous murderous tales, some which were little known outside the county, and others which made national headlines.

Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Shropshire.

They include the Revd Robert Foulkes, who killed his illegitimate child in 1678; the murder of Catherine Lewis by John Mapp at Longden in 1867; the horrific axe murders committed by John Doughty at Church Stretton in 1924; and the tragic death of Dennis O'Neill, who was beaten and starved by his foster parents in 1944.

Nicola Sly's carefully researched and enthralling text will appeal to anyone interested in the shady side of Shropshire's history.
