2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Historical novel set in the beautiful city of Durham By Janet Scarth This book captured my imagination right from the very beginning. It is set in Durham City. It is narrated by Clara who has just recovered from a nervous breakdown and the loss of a baby through a miscarriage. Her husband has got a job as a lecturer at Durham University. She is a very nervous person and we can see as we read more of the book that her husband Henry is playing on her lack of confidence. She goes to help out at the prison and is fascinated by the prisoner Mary Ann Cotton who is accused of murdering various husbands and children. Ms Cotton is pregnant and is awaiting trial. Clara can't understand why anyone would want to murder a child and wants to know all about her.An excellent read and very well written. I would recommend it and give it 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Savage Instinct By Diane Day I deeply enjoyed this story about greed, murder and strength. We tend to think that the 1800's England was a gentle refined era and forget the desperation of poverty and cruelty that was abundant. We also seem to think that being in the upper classes was a serene happy life. Ah, this story will set you straight.Enjoy this read.

She develops the characters very well and the story could take a few different directions right til the ending! Very compelling! You can tell in Marjorie's descriptions of the architecture and countryside that she has really done her homework and what it would have been like to be a very "suppressed wife" at the turn of the last century! Well done!
