In ‘A Very British Murder’, Lucy shares secrets and explores the history of this phenomenon in forensic detail, examining not only the crimes themselves but also how murder became a form of middle-class entertainment through novels, plays, artifacts and the press. From a Regency serial killer to Agatha Christie, this is the story of how crime was turned into art.
“An excellent overview of how the consumption of crime became a dominant part of our cultural landscape.” - The Sunday Times
