'I loved it' Richard Osman

'Gripping' Sarah Waters
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, the eyes of a nation turn to 10 Rillington Place.
In this riveting tale of violence, misogyny and tabloid frenzy, Kate Summerscale lifts the veil on what really happened inside the house - and suggests a new solution to one of the twentieth century's most notorious crimes.
