Synopsis:
1st edition 1st printing trade paperback, fine, true crime In stock shipped from our UK warehouse
Review: Who killed Charles Bravo? This is the mystery at the centre of James Ruddick's mesmerising Death at the Priory, a detailed and vivid recreation of the case that followed barrister Charles Bravo's death. In 1876, an attractive widow, Florence Ricardo, accepted a marriage proposal from the successful barrister. Four months after their marriage, Bravo collapsed at home, and proceeded to die a slow and pain-filled death, despite the attendance of several of London's top physicians. The doctors concurred: Bravo had been poisoned, and a police investigation soon cast a net of suspicion over everyone at the Priory, his London home.
We are presented, thriller-fashion, with all the principal suspects: Mrs Cox, Bravo's long-serving companion; stableman George Griffiths (who nursed a grudge against the dead man); Dr James Gully, who had been the lover of Bravo's wife Florence; and, of course, the enigmatic figure of the beautiful Florence herself. Ruddick has tackled great cases of the past before, with Lord Lucan: What Really Happened, and he is expert at re-sifting the evidence and presenting to the reader highly plausible solutions to previously unsolved mysteries. Here, we are given a fascinating picture of Victorian society, with all its repression and damped-down sexuality, but the really compelling aspect of Ruddick's book is the new evidence he draws on to demonstrate for the first time who really killed Charles Bravo. Conan Doyle never wrote a more intriguing mystery. --Barry Forshaw
