*AS SEEN ON BBC'S PANORAMA*

In June 2015 babies started dying unexpectedly on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. As medics searched desperately for answers, lead consultant Dr Steve Brearey emailed the ward manager to say, 'We still need to talk about Lucy.'

Several years have passed since then and Letby is now in jail. And yet the doctor's words continue to hold true. Despite her convictions and an extensive public inquiry, there are more questions now about Letby than ever - and they aren't going away. So who is the real Lucy Letby? What convinced senior medics and the police that she was killing babies? And were they right - or could her convictions be a miscarriage of justice, as some now believe?

Drawing on extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with her, as well as unrivalled access to documents and key players in her case, this book traces the story of Letby from primary school to prison, and grapples with the truth about one of the most high-profile murder cases in living memory.©2024 Jonathan Coffey, Judith Moritz (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Murder True Crime Crime Exciting Thought-Provoking

Really thorough, professional, engaging account of the Letby case.

Whilst I think she is guilty of the crimes she has been sentenced for, and more, this book really explained the questions regarding the 'reasonable doubt' questions surrounding the case.

Excellent Account

This book gives a balanced and in depth look at the Letby case. It is quite science heavy in places due to the nature of the crimes, it is also a little repetitive in places. But it kept my interest and offered some food for thought.

Firstly I did enjoy this book and I did learn more about the babies deaths and likely causes. But sadly I learnt very little about Lucy. The authors do put over a very balanced view of the court case and the lead up to the guilty verdict but the don’t go into Lucy’s psyche at all. In fact Lucy really plays a very small part in the story telling within this book. On the the whole worth a credit if just for the scientific content.

I left how the book went from the very beginning of the case all the way through the court cases and to the end when Lucy is found guilty I believe in till this day she is still guilty fantastic book very very well done

the way in which the book was told tells nothing but the truth about Lucille letby p
