LITTLE BOOK OF ATHERSTONE MURDERS

This pocket-sized volume by crime historian Adam Wood reveals some of the darkest deeds committed in Atherstone’s distant past, including:

• The expectant mother shot in the face by her husband on the day she was due to give birth.

• The drink-driving Victorian whose loss of control over his horse proved fatal.

• The Police inspector who would rather hang himself than leave the town.

• The father who couldn’t get over the loss of his son in a tragic railway accident.

• The desperate unmarried mother who resorted to desperate measures.

• A box believed to contain human remains found floating in a secluded pond.

• And that’s not to mention the young man who killed three members of the same family, including his own newborn son, when served with a maintenance order
