Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths is a non-fiction series in which M.J. Trow examines historical murders and crimes location by location across Britain. Each volume covers a specific town, city, or region — Bradford, Liverpool, Guernsey, Dublin, Glasgow, and many others — drawing on local records, court documents, and newspaper archives to reconstruct cases that range from Victorian-era poisonings to twentieth-century crimes.
The format is consistent across all 24 volumes: a collection of essays on individual cases from the featured location, written with the clear prose and narrative instinct Trow brings to both his fiction and his broader historical non-fiction. The series covers England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, giving it a genuinely national scope.
Because each book is self-contained, readers with an interest in a particular place can go directly to that volume. The series ran from 2004 to 2017 and reflects Trow’s sustained interest in the gap between how crimes are officially recorded and how they actually unfolded.
