Abstract:
Set in the mist of Victorian London and featuring the real-life detective who inspired the first generation of crime writers, including Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher are gripping murder mysteries full of twists and turns and unexpected journeys starring Paddy Considine as Jack Whicher, the most celebrated detective of his day. When three-year-old Saville Kent is found brutally murdered at the elegant Road Hill House on the edge of a sleepy English village, the local community is rocked. On the orders of the Home Secretary, Inspector Jonathan 'Jack' Whicher is dispatched to the countryside to restore justice. Behind the seemingly respectable middle-class facade of the Kent family, he discovers adultery, insanity and jealousy in a world populated by gossiping servants, a wicked stepmother and rebellious children.
