Colquhoun, K: Mr Briggs' Hat de Kate Colquhoun

Colquhoun, K: Mr Briggs' Hat

Autor Kate Colquhoun
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2012
On 9 July 1864, businessman Thomas Briggs walked into carriage 69 on the 9.45 Hackney-bound train. A few minutes later, two bank clerks entered the carriage - but as they sat down, one of them noticed blood pooled in the seat cushions. And then he saw the blood smeared all over the floor and windows, and a bloody handprint on the door...

But there was no sign of Thomas Briggs. The only things left in the carriage were his walking stick, his bag - and a hat that, strangely, did not belong to Mr Briggs...

Recenzii

(A) thrilling book, which reads at times like a good Victorian novel... an utterly compelling did-he-do-it Sunday Times Deploying her skill as a historian, Colquhoun turns a single curious murder case into a fascinatingly quirky portrait of the underside of mid-Victorian London. I found it unputdownable Daily Telegraph Kate Colquhoun is a fine, robust writer who makes the most of its every twist and turn Mail on Sunday With a storyteller's instinct for colour and suspense Kate Colquhoun has brilliantly recreated the five-month period from Thomas Briggs' death to Muller's execution Daily Express Kate Colquhoun's irreproachable unpicking of the case is meticulous, patient, thorough and measured Independent
