He's just seven years old. He's your son. You wave goodbye to him one morning as he disappears into the swirling fog. And then he is gone. Forever. This gripping historical murder mystery, based on fact, is set in Bradford, England,1888 during the Victorian era. It explores the horrific murder of Johnny Gill; a murder and mutilation so gruesome, it stuns a nation. Even hardened detectives are affected by its savagery, swiftly comparing it to the work of Jack the Ripper.
"Who Killed Little Johnny Gill?" is Kathryn McMaster's debut historical crime fiction novel. It is a page-turner that immediately immerses you in a maelstrom of emotions, keeping you in suspense as Chief Detective Constable Withers and his dedicated team of British detectives try and gather sufficient evidence to bring a conviction against their suspect.
In 1888, police procedures and knowledge of Forensic Science are rudimentary and juries are exposed to persuasive newspaper reports and public opinion. Will justice prevail, or will the guilty walk free?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Amateur writer of whose story is lacking depth and the narrator made this worse, through speaking too fast, lack of skill and delivery
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'm very disappointed in this book. It was badly written & appallingly narrated. In chapter 4 the narrator stopped & started about a dozen times !
