Sue Perry's Reviews > Did She Kill Him?: A Victorian Tale of Deception, Adultery, and Arsenic

There is a huge amount of interesting information in this book but somehow I found myself getting bored by the extraneous details (seagulls crying overhead, the weather, swishing skirts, clanging locks etc etc) and skipping ahead to see what happened next.
The book gives a good insight into a middle class woman's status in the 1880s as well as the justice system at that time from a defendant's perspective.

This is the second book I have read by this author; I preferred the first one - Mr Briggs Hat.
