In two of her most successful books, the British writer Kate Summerscale has time-travelled to Victorian England. ‘The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher Or The Murder At Road Hill House’ is a whodunnit of sorts that follows the life and career of one of the first Scotland Yard detectives, Jack Whicher, as he attempts to solve the murder of a small boy that shocked British society to its core. The second book, ‘Mrs Robinsons Disgrace: The Private Diary Of A Victorian Lady’, is about one of the first women in the UK to be divorced on the charges of adultery following a change in matrimonial law that made divorce easier and more affordable for the middle class.
