Synopsis "Bloody Yorkshire Volume 3 (in English)"
REVIEWS"A momentous book about murder, madness and moving". Dominic Walsh Journalist"We challenge anyone reading this book to let out a triumphant cheer or shed a silent tear. Simply brilliant and a fitting end to a trilogy." Filey Bay Today MagazineBloody Yorkshire 3 is the last book in the trilogy.Volume one gave us a gruesome sense of the gaols and their conditions. We learnt to experience the lives of the perpetrators until their inevitable executions. Usually (but not always). The condemned were murderers of women and children.A similar pattern followed in volume two, but drunkenness. Poverty and organised crime took precedence as criminals became more skilled and desperate.Volume three, however, changed something. The criminals and accomplices were as likely to be women as men. What does this tell us historically and sociologically? If you can't beat them, join them. Ultimately, perhaps women had just toughened up and demanded more from a life foreshadowed by war and uncertainty.All three books take us to see profound changes in the legal system. In Volume 3, we see criminals deemed unfit for trial and sent to special institutions. Also, women saw more lenient sentences, better befitting crimes driven by domestic violence.The journey through all three books shows us the changes to the justice system in its embryonic stages.Volume 3 includes crimes from around Yorkshire, including the notorious 'King of Criminals' Charles Peace and the murder in Bannercross Sheffield. Four murders from the Ilkley area. One of which was investigated by Jack Whicher (Suspicions of Mr Whicher) in one of his early cases for Scotland Yard.The book is of interest to True Crime enthusiasts and historians. Biographies,
