Judith Flanders

The four MacDonald sisters each married to become Alice Kipling, Georgiana Burne-Jones, Agnes Poynter and Louise Baldwin. Between them they were wife or mother to a great writer, two painters and a Prime Minister!

Judith Flanders retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder, both famous and obscure. From the crimes (and myths) of Sweeny Todd and Jack the Ripper, to the tragedies of the murdered Marr family in London’s East End, to Greenacre who transported his dismembered fiancée around town by omnibus, amongst others.
