Keri Russell goes casual in a sweatshirt and jeans as she appears at a Q&A panel for her Netflix series The Diplomat We see a mother trying to clear her dead daughter's name while other women faced the accusations - sometimes true and sometimes not - of murdering their own children.These stories are pieced together from original research using coroner's inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public.These intensely personal stories portray the lives of real people as they confronted the extraordinary crises of murder, infanticide, miscarriage and suicide. My favourites were probably the ones where we have records to show the families of the deceased making every effort to prove their child's innocence or bring their murderer to justice. My only disappointment was that almost all the cases were set in the south of England, and it would be great to see a second volume of stories from north of Watford! I was particularly interested in reading about an early example of attempts at forensic scientist in a case that wasn't exactly how it seemed, as well as the way that a community came together to protect a family who were at risk of losing everything because one of their family members may have taken his own life- a crime that would see their entire estate forfeited to the crown, leaving them potentially destitute- offer insights to how normal people viewed the harsh laws set upon them from those who had no idea what ordinary life entailed.Bookshops saw grisly stories of crime and death sell like hot cakes.
