A fictionalized account of the 1924 murder of Elsie Cameron who was cut up and hidden in her fiance's chicken run in Sussex. Interesting and a very quick reed as indicated on the cover.
The victim was very unlikable and the fiance's story is that she hung herself and he panicked and hid the body. I would have liked to see a bit more details about the investigation etc..

From my perspective, the victim seemed like a Borderline Personality who caused tons of drama and manipulation and the fiance was a rather weak man. Neither her family, him , nor his friends or family knew how to deal with her and in those days there certainly was no psychological help for them. He passively kept hoping she would get the hint.
That said, she definitely did not get the hint. Whether it was suicide (as he claims) or murder, he did cut up and dispose of the body and lie to police about her whereabouts.
We'll never know the truth, but Ms. Walters made an interesting read of it.
