Imagine having a single book which contains everything you need to write a compelling, historically accurate murder mystery. One which not only provides you with the necessary research, but puts it in social context and explains how each facet can be shaped to fit your plotline. Want the police involved early?

Ways you can (and cannot) commit the murder.
Symptoms of arsenic poisoning and how your doctor will distinguish them from cholera.
What chemical tests/toxicology was available.
What the autopsy will look like.
What evidence your sleuth will need to discover your murderer.

From early forensics science to the social climate, Cathers has compiled a unique fact-filled book. … This is a great aid for authors, full of tantalizing, almost unbelievable facts. As a true crime fan and an author, I highly recommend it.
J. Lynn Else, Author of Destiny of Avalon
