The Nightingale Shore Murder

Who killed Florence Nightingale Shore in 1920, and got away with murder?Miss Shore was a nurse, like her god-mother Florence Nightingale, and had been decoratedfor her service in South Africa and in France.

She had come through two wars and the deadly global flu pandemic unscathed.

But on a dark and rainy January afternoon, she was bludgeoned to death in a carriage on the Brighton line. Scotland Yard could not solve the crime, even with the help of famous criminal pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury.

But now there are new suspects, and a shocking new theory about the murderer. This is a story of many heroic and stalwart women: pioneering Queen's Nurses, fearless travellers and campaigners, loyal friends, feisty servants, and generous, charitable ladies.

Between them they tell the story of a tragic Edwardian murder mystery.

But has the murderer fi nally been uncovered?
