About this ebook

The starting point for any investigation is a curiosity, and that curiosity will lead to questions. However, those questions will not always tabulate themselves neatly for ease of presentation. With a murder it is usually known early on just what the investigation will set out to discover because a body will have been found. So why is it where it is found? And what if a body is not found, such as in the most confounding of cases here? Who wanted the old-time dancing housewife and mother dead, and why was such a shocking level of brutality employed? In Scarborough during the war, who did the lady enter the disused bus garage with, and why? Was robbery a motive for the murder of the retired school teacher or the lonely widow?
