The true story of a shocking murder case from the 1930s, and the revolutionary investigation that forever changed forensics, is presented in the book "The Jigsaw Murders." In Lancaster, 1935, Dr. Buck Ruxton murders his wife, Isabella, and their children's nanny, Mary, in a jealous rage before dismembering their bodies in the bathtub. When walkers discover the remains scattered in a ravine in the Scottish Borders, police are faced with a gruesome jigsaw puzzle that they must piece together to give the women their names back and catch their killer. Jeremy Craddock, using new research, tells the full story of this landmark case in British criminal history.

The Jigsaw Murders brings to life Dr. Ruxton, the investigators, the legal figures, and silent witnesses Isabella and Mary, recreating the dramatic scenes that shook the world. This meticulously researched and written book is a thrilling read that pays tribute to the dignity of the victims while delivering a compelling narrative that will keep readers engaged until the very end.
