Product Information

Early on the morning of May 6, 1840, the elderly Lord William Russell was found in his London house with his throat so deeply cut that his head was nearly severed. The crime soon had everyone, including Queen Victoria, feverishly speculating about motives and methods. But when the prime suspect claimed to have been inspired by a sensational crime novel, it sent shock waves through literary London and drew both Dickens and Thackeray into the fray. Could a novel really lead someone to kill? In Murder by the Book, Claire Harman blends a riveting true-crime whodunit with a fascinating account of the rise of the popular novel and the early battle for its soul among the most famous writers of the day.

Reviews
"This beautifully produced and impressively researched historical account of a celebrated Victorian murder with a literary twist reads like a thriller. I devoured it in one sitting, and was at once enthralled and chilled. Highly recommended!" --Alison Weir "Its opening scene is the stuff that classic murder mysteries are made of . . . Ms. Harman is a tireless researcher and a droll stylist." --Maureen Corrigan, The Wall Street Journal "Harman demonstrates a flair for distilling reams of research into a succinct, lively narrative. The book is an exemplar of how to write taut, issue-driven historical nonfiction. With an appreciation for pithy quotations, telling details and amusing gossip, she's quick to spot a fascinating aside . . . As riveting as this true-crime story is, what elevates Murder by the Book above sensationalism is its focus on how this case heightened concern over the malevolent influence of violent entertainment." --Heller McAlpin, The Washington Post "An assiduously researched and superbly written book that ends with Harman examining unanswered questions, and reminding us that truth can be stranger than fiction." --Malcolm Forbes, The Minneapolis Star Tribune "Compact and engrossing . . . [Harman] leaves readers to draw their own conclusions, and her compelling book is all the better for her tact." -- The Economist "A fascinating, exhaustively researched exploration into how art can influence society and vice versa, Murder by the Book turns an unflinching eye to the ways in which biases born of economic inequality affect the way crimes are investigated and prosecuted. It's a true crime devotee's delight." -- BookPage "Harman effectively uses a novelist's approach to recreate a now obscure 1840 English murder case that was a sensation at the time . . . By exploring concerns about the glorification of criminals in the fiction of the day and addressing some lingering mysteries, such as whether Courvoisier had an accomplice, Harman adds depth to a fascinating true crime narrative." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "An endlessly fascinating, bookish tale of true crime in Victorian England . . . Lovers of Drood, Sherlock, Jack the Ripper, and their kin real and fictional will relish the gruesome details of this entertaining book." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A remarkable story which Harman draws so skillfully . . . A brilliant piece of literary detective work. And though Harman is never so crass as to draw comparisons with today's concerns over the effects of drill music or chic TV assassins (Killing Eve's Villanelle?), the resonances ping from every page." --Marcus Field, London Evening Standard, "An intriguing, entertaining and occasionally gruesome mashup of mystery, biography, history and literary intrigue. . . . A true-crime devotee's delight." -- BookPage "Enthralling. . . . A page-turner that can hold its own with any one of the many murder-minded podcasts out there." -- Jezebel "A brilliant piece of literary detective work. And though Harman is never so crass as to draw comparisons with today's concerns over the effects of drill music or chic TV assassins, the resonances ping from every page." -- London Evening Standard "[The] opening scene is the stuff that classic murder mysteries are made of. . . . Harman is a tireless researcher and a droll stylist." -- The Wall Street Journal "An assiduously researched and superbly written book that ends with Harman examining unanswered questions, and reminding us that truth can be stranger than fiction." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune "A succinct, lively narrative. . . . What elevates [it] above sensationalism is its focus on how this case heightened concern over the malevolent influence of violent entertainment." -- The Washington Post

Book in POOR condition. Not worth 25 cents @ yard sale. (I realize good help is hard to find these days. But I always felt it might be different in the book world. This "entity" needs to train the people who are picking, grading, packaging, and shipping the books. Evidently, no checks and balances. Totally ridiculous and a waste of money. Had they been accurate and honest, re: book condition, NEVER would have purchased it. NEVER!!) Never.Again!!!
