MANX MURDERS is a gripping and mysterious collection of murder cases committed on the island over the last 150 years, from the brutal murder of a spinster one dark night on a lonely track near Ramsey, to an equally savage attack on a widow in
her garden in the busy centre of Douglas. Both murders, incidentally, remain unsolved to this day. Using information obtained from newspapers, inquest records and trial transcripts whenever these were available, each murder is described against the
back-drop of events on the island at the time and has been carefully reconstructed in a way that gives the reader a distinct flavour of life there during the period in which the crime occurred. This informative and fascinating collection is sure to evoke a number of conflicting emotions in the reader. While each case is unique, all share an overwhelming sadness and tragedy.
