Description
The Bermondsey Horror, or the story of Frederick and Maria Manning, a married couple who conspired to kill her lover, Patrick O' Connor in 1849 for his money. Their flight to escape and how they were undone by their own behaviors, the solid work of the London Metropolitan police and the latest technical advances forms the first chapter. Between the first chapter (the crime) and the last (their trial and execution), there are chapters on the various aspects of every-day living and on the society in Victorian times. Lavishly illustrated and a handy reference book for anyone who seeks to understand how Victorian London was shaped as a background for murder in 1849.
