The twin fascinations of death & villainy will always hold us in their grim but thrilling grip. In Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in Suffolk the chill is brought close to home as each chapter investigates the darker side of humanity in cases of murder, deceit & pure malice committed over the centuries in this part of East Anglia. From crimes of passion to opportunistic killings & coldly premeditated acts of murder, the full spectrum of criminality is recounted here. The traditionally rural nature of Suffolk creates isolated, inward looking communities with their own peculiar customs & practices. While this is one of the more endearing aspects of country life, it can also spawn narrow-mindedness & parochialism that leads to conflict
- & occasionally even to death. In this collection of grisly crime stories Mark Mower takes us on a journey through the darker side of Suffolk folklore, with tales of poisoning, grave robbing, stabbing, shooting & larceny. On the way we meet highwaymen, cut-throats, murderous lovers, homicidal relatives, pirates & purveyors of human flesh. The dramas he describes are often played out in the most commonplace of circumstances, but others are so odd as to be stranger than fiction.
