The Strange Affair of Madeleine Smith is an engrossing insight into the suffocating world of Victorian women and the great divide between social classes that doomed a daring relationship before it had begun. For true crime and whodunit lovers, Victoriana enthusiasts and those interested in Scottish legal history.
