Emily Dimmock was born in Standon, Hertfordshire. She followed the
fate of so many poor working class girls, by working as a domestic
servant, and then becoming a prostitute in London's Kings Cross.
Witnesses last saw Emily alive on the evening of September 11th
1907. On the morning of September 12th, 1907, the body of Emily
Dimmock was found in her rented rooms in Camden Town, London. The
murderer has never been identified. This is the story of the
victim; along with an account of the times in which she lived, and
the circumstances surrounding her death. Is this another crime of
the imagination? Recent books have seen parallels between The
Camden Town Murder, the Whitechapel killings of Jack the Ripper,
and The Peasenhall Mystery of 1902. This is also a social history
and an account of the human condition of the people living in the
Victorian and Edwardian eras; the upper classes and their domestic
servants, the 'fallen women', the music-halls, the artists, and the
demi-monde. All these moving against alternating backgrounds of
greys, black and crimson, and enraptured with the vapours of
wormwood.
