Show notes

Following her bestselling classic, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, ⁠Kate Summerscale now transports the reader to 1950s Britain and the murders at Rillington Place, in The Peepshow. We spoke with her about using her journalistic skills to uncover new theories, the drive to understand the motivations of murderous men, and how individual cases can serve as a window onto society as a whole.
