Who Killed Little Johnny Gill?: A Victorian True Crime Murder Mystery

Adult; Mystery/Thriller; (Market)

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 crime fiction novel, based on fact, is set in Bradford, England,1888. 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 novel. It is a noir 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?

"‘Who killed Little Johnny Gill?’  a True Crime, Victorian Noir; read very much like the captivating style of Kate Summerscale’s “The Suspicions of Mr Whicher” ….it also had the cosy parochial feel of an Agatha Christie…as well as, I might add: the procedural methodology of a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle… as such, I take my hat off to you, good lady and wish you well in your literary venture…” Lesley Bush, Berkshire, UK

“I thoroughly enjoyed this read! It was very exciting. As soon as the body was discovered, I felt the ensuing panic, the parents’ worry, and the morbid curiosity of the onlookers. I could actually feel the tension in the air and hear the murmurs and exclamations of the townspeople as word of the gruesome discovery spread. I give your book a rating of two thumbs up; I read this late at night, and though I was tired I could not stop reading until I finished the last word.”  – Lisa Stone Gustafson (USA)

“Loved the story and it had me in tears! Where did you find such wonderful words? … I feel like I am sitting in the 19th century.”                         –  Paxie Adrienne Kelsey (South Africa)

“Loved the details given of each character. It made them seem real and I was able to visualize them and their actions in my mind.  As needed, at the end of each chapter you have left me wanting to read more.” – Deborah Peters (Portugal)
