Summary of M. J. Trow's The Thames Torso Murders
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Thames is a river that runs through London. It was the site of a honeymoon for Jerome Clapp Jerome, who wrote about it in his only literary success, Three Men in a Boat. The book is a look at young friends messing around on the river.
#2 The Thames flows north above Kingston, where the first wooden bridge was built to link the town with Hampton Wick in 1219. The water here was known in pre-industrial times for its purity. Rudyard Kipling assumed that Teddington was Tide End Town, because here the tidal and non-tidal rivers meet.
#3 The river bends at Richmond, 15½ miles from London. The area was popular with day trippers, as it was only half an hour by train to Waterloo, which was the closest station to the city. The name Richmond was given to the river by Henry VII, Earl of Richmond in Yorkshire.
#4 The Thames was host to many races and regattas, and was ideal for racing. The second railway bridge over the river was opened in 1846. The town of Barnes was famous for its amateur regattas.
