Bloody Yorkshire Volume 2
|
This is the second book in the Bloody Yorkshire true-crime series, which is a terrifying compilation of some of the vilest crimes in Yorkshire's history which stunned and gripped the nation.
Book two contains thirteen true stories from across the Yorkshire region, including Elizabeth Boardingham from Flamborough, who was burned at the stake for her involvement in the gruesome murder of her husband. The shocking story of Mary Bateman from Leeds, 'the Yorkshire witch and murderess' who conned and poisoned many people out of their life savings.
The terrible, tragic story of Mrs Mountain from Sherburn - in Elmet, who was savagely bludgeoned to death by her son. The triple murder of three innocent children by their mother at Holmfirth.
This true-crime book, complete with illustrations, includes details on where the crimes took place in Yorkshire, how the victims were killed, the background of each killer, their trials, and punishments. For some, there are chilling quotes noted from the killers themselves. Bloody Yorkshire is part 2 of 3 of the Bloody Yorkshire True Crime series. This book will appeal to historians looking to find out about 19th-century true crime and murders and those looking to uncover the history of murders near Leeds, Huddersfield, York, and others.
Journalist Dominic Walsh critiques.
" Bloody Yorkshire Volume II has assembled an altogether darker cast than before. Indeed, some of the criminals we read about appear beyond redemption, while others seem to have been caught up in circumstances that took control of them. One thing is for sure – there are no black and white here, just infinite shades of grey. Once again, Wendy Rhodes has cast a spell that leaves the reader with much to think about and, perhaps, much to be grateful for."
