Our fascination with 'a good murder' -- from the Ratcliffe Highway Murders at the turn of the nineteenth century to Edith Thompson and Freddie Bywaters, hanged in 1922 for the murder of Edith's husband -- became a form of national entertainment, inspiring novels, plays and films, puppet shows and paintings, poetry and true-crime journalism. This riveting investigation shows how during the birth of modern Britain murder entered our national psyche -- and has been a part of us ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207983755552,"sku":"NEW1849906513","price":26.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71dqn6HKqgL.jpg?v=1787129743","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-very-british-murder-the-story-of-a-national-obsession-1849906513","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
