...What is clear is a mute, vacant despair and the apparently insurmountable divide between her and the male justice system.
In books knew - letters were always getting lost or misdirected, destroyed, withheld or exploited. Many of Florence's own favourite novels emphasised the potential of letters to be the carriers or interceptors of deception: they had a destiny as well as a destination. If only she had decided to drop her own incriminating letter into the postbox herself.

What is this book about? The title tells you all you need to know about that. I have no idea why this book only averages a 2-star rating on Goodreads. I thoroughly enjoyed this true crime story. One thing I learned for sure is that it was not a good idea to “follow the science“ in Victorian England.
About halfway through-such an interesting look at crime and how women were viewed in Victorian England.
Just started this one!! So far so good
