THE CRETINGHAM MURDER

Softcover. An old plank of wood found in 1996 revealed a chilling pencilled message, 'A fearful murder was committed the first day of this month (October 1887) at Cretingham. A curate cut the vicar's throat at 12 o'clock at night.' From this strange beginning the author set out to discover the background - and perhaps the truth - of an unusual and neglected Suffolk murder story. Illus. + A Note on William Moule. 120pp. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
