FROM BRITAIN'S TOP-SELLING TRUE CRIME WRITER

WINNER OF THE CWA ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION
A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: The Times/Sunday Times, Financial Times, Spectator, Independent, Tablet and New Statesman

'I loved it' Richard Osman
'Shattering' Val McDermid
'Gripping' Sarah Waters

In 1953, the bodies of three young women are found by a tenant in the walls of a Notting Hill house. He tells the police that he chanced upon them while trying to put up a shelf for his transistor radio.

As a series of further horrors are discovered, 10 Rillington Place becomes an address synonymous with murder.

A riveting tale of violence, misogyny and tabloid frenzy, The Peepshow lifts the veil on what really happened inside Britain's most notorious house - and suggests a new solution to the case that transfixed a nation.
