True Crime

This chilling collection of murder cases delves into the villainous deeds that have taken place in Coventry during its long history. Among those featured are the niece who poisoned her uncle in 1831 to fund her 'love of nice dresses', a woman whose throat was slashed by her jealous husband in 1859, a mother who literally died of fright when her son attempted to poison her in 1910, and a double murder in 1906. Illustrated with a wide range of archive material and modern photographs, Coventry Murders is sure to fascinate both residents and visitors alike as these shocking events of the past are revealed for a new generation.
