In 1953, the bodies of three young women are found by a tenant in the walls of a Notting Hill house. He tells the police that he chanced upon them while trying to put up a shelf for his transistor radio.
As a series of further horrors are discovered, 10 Rillington Place becomes an address synonymous with murder.
A riveting tale of violence, misogyny and tabloid frenzy, The Peepshow lifts the veil on what really happened inside Britain's most notorious house - and suggests a new solution to the case that transfixed a nation.

Just the thought of it
I remember being show Reg Christie at Madame Tussaud’s in London early 1970s. I was about 6 yrs old!
I can remember thinking that he looked like a relative and my father then told me what he had done. Thank you Kate for digging deeper into this story than anything I have ever read.
This book took me three days to read as I couldn’t put it down!! It has led me down various rabbit holes in search of further information.
1940s,50s England was a melting pot of different nationalities,religions and everyone knew it would boil over into unbelievable violence and hatred. Has anything changed over the years,hardly.
