The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective Book

The national bestseller, now in paperback. In June of 1860 three-year-old Saville Kent was found at the bottom of an outdoor privy with his throat slit. T he crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land. I nspector Jonathan Whicherâ??s real legacy, however, lives on in fiction: the tough, quirky, all-knowing and all-seeing detective that we know and love todayâ?¦from the cryptic Sgt. Cuff in Wilkie Collinsâ??s The Moonstone to Dashiell Hammettâ??s Sam Spade. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher reads like the best of Victorian thrillers, and has been nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize in London.Read More
