Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in York Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 88 ratings

A local historian reveals the centuries of murder and mayhem lurking in the shadows of this charming English city.

Just beneath its gentile façade, the city of York hides a dark past. Once England's second city, it is built on a thousand years of bloodshed. From brutal war to noble rebellion, and from petty crime to notorious killers, death has tracked the city's long history.

Keith Henson begins with York’s early history of punishment and close with the city's only unsolved murder. From 1800–1946, the city slid from its Georgian splendor to a seething slum surrounded by medieval walls, then began to reemerge after World War Two.
Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in York tells the story of some of the city's darkest moments: from Hanging Bishops to Sweet Toothed Poisoners; Insane Arsonists to Murder Most Foul.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2019
    Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. So much description about the area, the residents and their livelihoods, not to mention the wonderful photographs included in each chapter. To see local landmarks as well as the dwelling places that would become the sites of violence and/or death makes it more "real". Some real harrowing tales and some just absolute tragic.

    Another fast delivery of a good book from WOB. There were a few grubby looking marks on the cover and one inside page but, overall, it was in great condition.
