Are we all capable of murder? It would seem so given the human frailties of greed, hate, lust and even love. More disturbing are the fleeting acts of sheer animal rage and momentary insanity in otherwise unremarkable people. In his new book, exploring 20th century murder cases drawn from all parts of the area, David Kidd-Hewitt takes the reader to the heart of the ultimate crime - the untimely death of an innocent victim by violent murder, but there will inevitably be some cases that remain a mystery, known as 'cold cases' these are unsolved, terrible murders. The assault and murder of a young mother, her body left in woodland at Backwell; a savage attack on an elderly widow in Weston who was walking her dogs in Worlebury Woods; and the seemingly motiveless and brutal murder of a charity worker at her home in Bath. Someone knows Whodunnit and are keeping dreadful, dark secrets.
