M**der Most Foul: Poisoners, Body Snatchers and Killer Servants

Georgian Britain was an age of elegance and refinement, but beneath the powdered wigs lay a world of crime and consequence. In this captivating instalment of her M**der Most Foul series, Sheelagh James uncovers the dark deeds of poisoners, body snatchers and killer servants, revealing the grim ends that awaited those who strayed beyond the law. Expect intrigue, gasp-worthy revelations and tales not for the faint-hearted in an evening of history at its most chilling. Each talk stands alone, so newcomers are warmly welcome.
