Dancing For The Hangman - Martin EdwardsSo many books have been written about Dr.Crippen that you might think there's nothing new to be said about the case. In this intriguing novel, Martin Edwards proves that a fresh perspective is both possible and rewarding. While awaiting execution in Pentonville, Crippen looks back on his life and recalls its major events in detail. We learn about the upheavals in his professional life and about the sexual chemistry between him and his second wife, the vibrant Cora Turner (real name Kunigunde Mackamotzki). The relationship with Ethel Le Neve is also explored in depth. Crippen emerges as a much more interesting and complex figure than hitherto. What the author has done is to blend scrupulous research with imaginative insight into a work that offers a genuine reinterpretation. A trained lawyer, Edwards is best-known for his Harry Devlin series. In this probing, persuasive, well-written and often startling work, he has surpassed his usual high standards.
