Publisher Description

This true crime history reveals the dark side of England’s bucolic southern countryside with centuries of havoc along the English Channel.
 
With its bountiful apple and cherry orchards, Kent is known as “The Garden of England.” But in Kent Murder and Mayhem, readers are taken on a tour of local crime and conspiracy through the ages, meeting villains of all sorts along the way. Cut-throats and poisoners, murderous lovers, desperate wives and husbands, violent thieves—almost every type of killer is represented here.
 
Roy Ingleton's fascinating book recalls many grisly events involving sad or unsavory characters whose conduct throws a revealing light on the society of their day. In these pages you’ll meet a murderous fourteen-year-old boy, a mother who did away with her son, and a husband who killed his wife and children. Other true tales of wickedness include the poisoning of an old lady, the murder of two wives by drowning, and the case of the last man to be hanged in public at Maidstone Prison. It’s a fascinating journey through the Garden of England…and what’s buried beneath.
