Oxfordshire Murdersbrings together twenty-five murderous tales, some which were little known outside the county, and others which made national headlines
 
Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Oxfordshire. They include the deaths of two gamekeepers, brutally murdered in 1824 and 1835; Henrietta Walker, killed by her husband at Chipping Norton in 1887; Mary Allen, shot by Harry Rowles at Cassington in the same year; and Anne Kempson, murdered by Henry Seymour, a door-to-door salesman, in Oxford in 1931.
 
Nicola Sly’s carefully researched and enthralling text will appeal to anyone interested in the shady side of Oxfordshire’s history.
