S Club's Hannah Spearritt takes a tumble during Dancing On Ice rehearsals she she gears up to take part in ITV skating show Great British Bake Off fans slam result after 'most marketable' contestant Matty wins as they claim Josh was robbed of being named champion Each case highlighted some fascinating facets of contemporary attitudes towards death and crime. I particularly found the sections on suicide interesting. Of course I was aware that suicide was taboo and viewed as a sin by the church, but it also had very strong legal ramifications -- a person who took their life could actually be posthumously convicted of a felony, and their lands and fortunes seized. For these reasons many families tried to disguise a suicide as a murder or natural death, or disprove a coroner's ruling of suicide (using early forensic pathology). And of course all of this is complicated by the final case explored, which highlights that sometimes suicide was viewed as not only acceptable, but noble. Like today, social attitudes don't always align perfectly with the law.It's an intriguing, informative read which I found fascinating, but please be aware of the trigger warnings as there are some sensitive subjects dealt with. The cases cover suicides, & violent murders including infanticide - it's certainly not an easy read. I give this book full marks though as I think the author does such a good job of drawing the reader straight into the cases, by setting the scene & introducing those involved, & explaining the justice system of the time. 5 stars I'm A Celebrity FIRST LOOK: Tony Bellew SWEARS and screams in horror while searching in a cupboard of frogs during The Misery Motel trial

Evan Ellingson's cause of death revealed: My Sister's Keeper star died from accidental fentanyl overdose at age 35 ITV presenter reveals his wife, 30, has been diagnosed with rare and incurable brain cancer just months after she gave birth to their first child Matthew Perry's family asks his fans to donate to late star's foundation on Giving Tuesday to help others suffering from addiction As with all the best true crime, the crimes are merely a starting point. Adams uses each of the nine cases to highlight one or more aspects of the justice system and of the society of day. She has clearly researched the period thoroughly and writes very well, moving me more than once to anger or even tears, and using the scant records available to her to build convincing pictures of the people involved. If I have a criticism, it’s that sometimes I felt she perhaps embellished the bare bones a little to improve the storytelling aspects – I wondered more than once how she could have known what someone’s motivation was or how she could be so sure what had happened when she didn’t cite a specific source. But these moments were rare and I never felt she extrapolated unreasonably – I always felt her assumptions, if that’s what they were, were more likely to be true than not. And certainly her storytelling skills made this a fascinating read, humanising the history in a way that makes it more effective than a dry recounting of facts and statistics ever could.
