MURDER IN OLD BERKSHIRE. A collection of sudden deaths in and around the old county

Hardback. This anthology of murders in and around the old county of Berkshire includes the villains of Broadmoor, the mass murderer of Colnbrook, Maidenhead's mail robbers, Bisham's heartless lady, and the extraordinary case of the actor and the shopkeeper killed at Reading. There's the Quaker slain at Slough, Wild Will Darrell of Littlecote, the dreadful Mrs Dyer, death on duty at Hungerford and a crime of passion at Clewer. The missing wife of Windsor shared her fate with an unfortunate Watchfield wife, while the Chequers at Harwell witnessed manslaughter as the customers stood by; the spirit of Cumnor recalls an ancient killing, and tragedy touches Touchen End. Wokingham, Caversham, Mapledurham, Lambourn, Coley Park, Blagrave and Combe complete the collection. Illus. + Index. 128pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in nr. f. dw.
