Earth to earth : lives and violent deaths of a Devon farming family : a true crime classic revisited
Cornwell, John, 1940-2026
Books, Manuscripts
Cornwell's classic investigation into the violent deaths of these unhappy siblings told a story of a farming family struggling under unbearable pressures, their violent deaths, the police investigation and the proceedings of the inquest. The official verdict was that there had been a suicide pact, but Cornwell decided to revisit the evidence 40 years after the book was first published, and he finds that there were anomalies in the evidence suggesting alternative, criminal scenarios, and the misery that preceded these savage deaths suggested even darker elements.
