I never thought he looked handsome to start with - caddish would be more the word I would have chosen.

Great review, Susan. I'm not always a great one for books based on real crimes, but I do like Jill Dawson - I admired her novel Fred and Edie, about the Edith Thompson case, which also inspired The Documents in the Case by Dorothy L. Sayers I think I also read a novel by Dawson about Rupert Brooke.

Laura Thompson features a few times


The main person is one of Sandra Rivett’s sons, the one given up for adoption. This gives a very refreshing victim-centric view

I'm really impressed so far - a different angle on the case and very well done
