On 7th November 1843, Harriet Monckton, 23 years old and a woman of
respectable parentage and religious habits, is found murdered in
the privy behind the chapel she regularly attended in Bromley,
Kent. The community is appalled by her death, apparently as a
result of swallowing a fatal dose of prussic acid, and even more so
when the surgeon reports that Harriet was around six months
pregnant. Drawing on the coroner's reports and witness testimonies,
Elizabeth Haynes builds a compelling picture of Harriet's final
hours through the eyes of those closest to her and the last people
to see her alive. Her fellow teacher and companion, her would-be
fiance, her seducer, her former lover-all are suspects; each has a
reason to want her dead. Brimming with lust, mistrust and guilt,
The Murder of Harriet Monckton is a masterclass of suspense from
one of our greatest crime writers.
