Take an illustrated tour through the dark story of our fascination with murder, with Dr Lucy Worsley, BBC TV presenter, renowned historian and Chief Curator at the charity Historic Royal Palaces.

Lucy examines notorious crimes and criminals and explains how murder became a form of middle-class entertainment through novels, plays, paintings, and the press. 

Starting with a horrific early nineteenth century serial-killer in the East End of London, she’ll end with the tame drawing room dramas of Agatha Christie.
