Fall for the Book: How could a doctor who used poison to kill ten people in Britain and North America — a brazen crime wave as notorious as Jack the Ripper’s — be forgotten today? In The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream: The Hunt for a Victorian Era Serial Killer, Dean Jobb exposes the flaws, corruption, and Victorian morality that permitted a doctor to remorselessly kill the very women who turned to him for help. Louise Penny calls this book about a man who murdered for the fun of it, “a tour de force of storytelling… both chilling and thrilling.” As Publisher Weekly said, “Jobb’s extensive research pays off in a true-crime masterpiece that will easily sit alongside The Devil in the White City.” Jobb will be in conversation with Edgar Award-winning mystery writer Art Taylor.
