Description

One of the most exciting British manhunts of the early 1920s came to an end when insurance agent Edward Black was arrested in Liverpool. He was then escorted back to St. Austell, Cornwall, to face a charge of murdering his wife with arsenic. But did he? And if he did, what was his motive? Down the years many people have expressed reservations about the verdict. Black fled Tregonissey nearly three days before his wife died. His financial problems and a pending false pretences investigation might have been the motive for taking flight. But were they enough for him to commit murder? Read this Cornish poison classic on and you tell us via Opinion.

Wealthy Matilda Hacker was a woman on the run, but her luck apparently ran out when she took lodgings at a house in London’s Euston Square. Who killed her and who didn’t will be revealed. You may be surprised at the case’s outcome.
When old Annie Stirr set off to collect soil for her beloved houseplants she had no idea what horrors she was about to reveal. When scooping up earth from a freshly-dug mound she uncovered the bodies of an elderly couple – and their bodies were still warm. As if that wasn’t horrific enough, the victims had died of ashyxia – they were buried alive! This murder shocker from Durham begins in Murder Most Foul 69.
