Andre Hanscombe's moving account of the murder or his partner Rachel Nickell before the eyes of their three-year-old son and the tragic effect this had on him. This book is marred only by its attempts to give the impression that the prime suspect at the time - Colin Stagg - was guilty. Hanscombe has since acknowledged Stagg's innocence.

A very moving and honest account of the murder on Wimbledon Common of young mum Rachel Nickell, told through the eyes of her fiance Andre Hanscombe.
The book covers everything, from him being told of her murder to how he and their son dealt with the trauma that followed, through to the police investigation and them finally re-locating to France to escape the media attention.
I sobbed through parts of the book and if you like true crime, this is definitely a must-read.

Superb, and moving account of a terrible and harrowing story. I read this book years ago and it is one of the best books I've ever read. The greatest respect to Rachel's partner for having the strength to relive it
