Manx Murders by Keith Wilkinson

Manx Murders

A gripping and mysterious collection of murder cases committed on the Island over the last 150 years, from the brutal murder of a spinster one dark night on a lonely track near Ramsey, to an equally savage attack on a widow in her garden in the busy centre of Douglas.

Using information obtained from newspapers, inquest records and trial transcripts whenever these were available, each murder is described against the back-drop of events on the island at the time and has been carefully reconstructed in a way that gives the reader a distinct flavour of life during the period in which the crime occurred.
