More 19th Century Rotherham Murders
Twenty gruesome murders around the town of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom! The horrible cases present in here include a girl shot down by her lover at Bradgate, poaching on the Fitzwilliam estate, a man trying to imitate Jack the Ripper at Parkgate, a fatal affray in College Street and two cases of Fratricide.
This new collection of murders in Rotherham are drawn from a series of true crime cases published in the Rotherham Advertiser from March 2014 onwards. Margaret Drinkall has expanded the short published articles and added facts not previously read about before, such as letters written from Thomas Docherty to his paramour Emily Fleming. These cases are of murders and crimes, which took place in the streets and roads of Rotherham. Find out if anything happened on your street!
Another great and fascinating read from, a popular gifted writer and historian. I love all her books, and it’s clear a lot of research and effort has produced, many intriguing insights and stories, from a different age, that may have been lost otherwise. Margaret, really brings these crimes to life, making great reading about local past criminal events, that will keep the reader engrossed and fascinated. The author, one of the best crime writers in the country, if not the world. All her books are. Highly recommended
