It took three tortured days in 1876 for Charles Bravo to die from the poison that burned its way through his body. The subsequent investigation revealed many people with a grudge against the young barrister. The dramatic inquest was covered in sensational detail by the press, but no one was convicted of his murder. Over a century later, James Ruddick draws on new evidence to solve one of the most famous murders in criminal history.©2009 James Ruddick (P)2009 Oakhill Publishing Ltd Europe Great Britain Murder Sociology True Crime Urban Exciting Scary Thought-Provoking

This is an amazing true story and there is so many thoughts and theory's of what happened, it was truly interesting. I love the way it was presented, it left you wanting to know what happens next and who did what and why. If I could have listened to it all in one sitting I would have and after it finished I looked for more victorian true crime books.

Wow I Was So Hooked!
