Summary
 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

Fascinating story, well read in a very straight-forward, scientific manner. Gives a very good picture of upper middle-class lifestyle in Victorian times, and good information regarding women's lives at that time.
