Description

The Channel Islands have a darker side to their idyllic setting. This book explores 25 historic cases of murder committed in the islands, each with its own unique circumstances and motivations. From unsolved crimes like the fatal assault on John Francis in 1894, to more shocking cases like the murder by Philippe Jolin of his father in 1829, and the tragic double suicide of Eugenie Toupin in 1881. The book also delves into lesser-known cases such as Elizabeth Saujon's murder during a robbery in 1853, and Elizabeth de la Mare's murder of her elderly employer in 1935. Nicola Sly's carefully researched text provides a fascinating glimpse into the shady side of Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney's history.
