  Often the foulest murders have been committed in the most picturesque parts of Britain, such as the picnic massacre in the New Forest, the gruesome discovery in the grounds of Arundel Castle and the horrific find which marred the 390th Shakespeare birthday celebrations in Stratford-upon-Avon. This guide to the murder sites of Britain and Ireland incorporates 200 years of crime history, from the dark alleys of Jack the Ripper to the open moorland of Exmoor and Northumberland. The wide range of settings includes railway stations, beaches, theatres, and even the peaceful academic haven of Inspector Morse's Oxford. This revised edition includes an account of the discoveries of bodies at Cromwell Street, Gloucester, in 1994.
