- Book 4 of 5: Fatal Secrets: Britain's Darkest True Crimes Uncovered
A killer hiding in plain sight.
A house steeped in horror.
And an innocent man hanged for crimes he didn’t commit.
In the grim, postwar streets of Notting Hill, one ordinary house concealed the unspeakable.
At 10 Rillington Place, John Christie — soft-spoken, unassuming — lured women into his home, only to strangle them and hide their bodies in cupboards, floorboards, and gardens. But the darkest chapter came when Timothy Evans, a young, vulnerable neighbour, was wrongfully hanged for crimes Christie had committed.
This chilling true story delves into:
-
Christie’s secret life as a serial killer beneath a veneer of respectability
-
The gross failings of the British justice system, culminating in a wrongful execution
-
The impact on a nation, which was forced to confront the fallibility of capital punishment
-
The women whose voices were silenced, and how their stories were nearly lost
Meticulously researched and grippingly written, 10 Rillington Place is not just a portrait of a killer — it's a haunting exploration of how institutional failure and social indifference allowed evil to flourish.
Part of the Fatal Secrets true crime series.
🌟 For readers of The Five, The Innocent Man, and Mindhunter,
this is a shocking, essential account of one of Britain’s most shameful miscarriages of justice.
Because some crimes don’t end at the gallows.
They begin there.
