North Yorkshire Moors Murders - An Anthology Of True Crime ("Heartbeat & Dracula country")“North Yorkshire Moors Murders” is a collection of fascinating true crimes from this most picturesque part of England. With its quaint market towns, old fishing villages, rugged cliffs tumbling down to sandy beaches and the hidden bays of the East Coast, the stunning beauty of the North Yorkshire countryside and coast is hard to beat. Nowadays, many roads criss-cross the area, but in the 19th century, when the crimes in this book were committed, farms and villages were isolated and the beautiful wild moors were the perfect hiding place for those with murder in mind.
I became a true crime writer in 2014 after discovering a family secret about a murder. I researched the case thoroughly and uncovered a miscarriage of justice which I wrote about in my first book "The Rotherham Trunk Murder". Since then I have written another seven books and I specialise in investigating possible miscarriages of justice.
I was delighted to receive an early copy of Jeannette Hensby's latest true crime title and it didn't disappoint! The author's meticulous research and lucid style will give true crime fans exactly the doorway they need to step back in time to consider the evidence in these historical cases. I was only sorry there wasn't room in such an anthology for this excellent author to go even deeper into each incident, but she handles them all with her usual aplomb, which makes for a fascinating short read.
