'Was rich Mrs Gertrude Hullett murdered at her luxurious 15-room
home on Beachy Head? Detectives are tonight trying to establish the
cause of the 50-year-old widow's sudden death...' Daily Mail, 1957
In July 1957, the press descended in droves on the south-coast town
of Eastbourne. An inquest had just been opened into the suspicious
circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs Bobbie Hullett. She died
after months of apparent barbiturate abuse - the drugs prescribed
to calm her nerves by her close friend and doctor, Dr John Bodkin
Adams. The inquest brought to the surface years of whispered
suspicion that had swept through the tea rooms, shops and nursing
homes of the town. The doctor's alarming influence over the lives,
deaths and finances of wealthy widows had not gone unnoticed - it
was rumoured that the family doctor had been on a killing spree
that spanned decades and involved 300 suspicious cases.
Superintendent Hannam of Scotland Yard was called in to
investigate. The Curious Habits of Dr Adams brilliantly brings to
life the atmosphere of post-war England, and uses a wealth of new
documents to follow the twists and turns of an extraordinary
Scotland Yard murder enquiry. As expertly crafted as the best
period detective novel, this book casts an entertainingly chilling
light on a man reputed to be one of England's most prolific serial
killers.
