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

In 1860, three-year-old Saville Kent was found murdered in the outdoor privy of his family's country estate. Local police scrambled for clues, but to no avail. Scotland Yard Det.-Insp. Jonathan Jack Whicher was called in and immediately suspected the unthinkable: someone in the Kent family killed Saville.  Whicher is a fascinating hero, and readers will delight in following every lurid twist and turn in his investigation.
