Summary of Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On Friday, 29 June 1860, Samuel and Mary Kent were asleep in their house in Road, five miles from Trowbridge. They were bedridden with a baby on the first floor. Their eldest daughter, five-year-old Mary Amelia, shared their room.

#2 On Friday, the Kents' nursemaid, Emily Doel, put the children to bed. Half an hour later, Gough carried Eveline up to the nursery and put her in the cot next to her own. The five-year-old Mary Amelia was put to bed in the room she shared with her parents.

#3 The family was asleep in the nursery when the comet passed through the sky. At 10 p. m. , Mr Kent opened the yard door and unchained his black Newfoundland guard dog.

#4 On the night of the murders, the dog in the house barked, but nobody heard anything out of the ordinary. The sun rose two or three minutes before 4 a. m. The door was safe as usual, and the window was a little bit open.
