The ancient city of Bath has always attracted visitors, flourishing in
the Georgian era and becoming home for the fashionable and wealthy. The
city was rebuilt to reflect its new status and although areas were
devastated by aerial attacks in the Second World War and the misguided
destruction of the 1960s, Bath today is one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the country. In Bath Murders and Misdemeanours author
Mick Davis has delved into local records to reveal the dark side of life
in the golden city. From highwaymen to grave robbers and murderers,
poisoners to suicides, psychopaths to major disasters, the author has
researched and examined a number of little-known crimes that rocked the
city in days gone by. This collection of true-life crime stories gives a
vivid insight into life in Bath in previous centuries. This book will
fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime as well as
those who want to know more about the history of Bath and the south-west
of England.
