The town of Boston lies alongside the peaceful River Witham and has
the appearance of a tranquil place where nothing much has ever
happened. This first impression is misleading. In terms of murder
and mayhem, Boston has tales to rival anywhere else in
Lincolnshire. And what of the numerous little villages that cluster
around the town? As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote, 'there is more
evil in the country than you ever find in the towns'. Stabbings,
shootings, poisonings, stranglings and suicides have all made it
into the pages of the area's history. Young and old, husbands and
wives, parents and children, and even complete strangers fell
victim to murderous attacks. The motives for such atrocious crimes
ranged from overwhelming jealousy and blinding rage to calculated
greed and petty disputes.These fourteen tales of true murder from
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, compiled by
renowned local author Douglas Wynn, will fascinate anyone wanting
to know more about Boston's dark history.
