Thats the fascination with the WALLACE case Prefab ..it must be WHW ..but it cant be WHW. His alibi makes it (almost) impossible..would have been 100% impossible if McFaul had got the...

I agree that the murderer is still far from resolved BURKHILLY!! But,there is a danger of just concentrating on JOHN GANNON'S hypothesis about PARRY/MARSDEN & JULIA paying them & ignoring the...

Its worth checking out the reviews of the excellent new JOHN GANNON book on AMAZON...mostly very complimentary..with one notable exception!! BOOKS TO YOU UK now offering the book at £7 + P/P. ...

Thanks ROD..I take your point about his obvious agitation(same applies whether he was guilty or innocent!)but so far as I can see he never mentioned to anybody..including the police...that the back...

Thanks JOHN..I think his stubborn refusal to accept MENLOVE GARDENS EAST just didnt exist & to keep asking was a major reason why the police first suspected him & made him the prime suspect..you...

Thanks ROD / PREFAB..I think you both make good points & I agree that WHW would perhaps not be familiar with ALL the relatively new housing developments..but I'm sure his friend Joseph Crewe must...

Wallace had some idea of his orientation, owing to his visits to Calderstones and Crewe.[/QUOTE]AGREED ..so why all the "I'm A Stranger" rubbish?

BURKHILLY It was GOODMAN who sent a friend of his round some Chelsea mews as you describe!
ROD.. surely thats the point ....WHY did Crew lie? It can only be to protect his friend,WHW, who must have...

ROD..Congrats on getting hold of a copy of Wyndham-Brown..I think £70 is about right these days & its probably a good investment because its a scarce title & only likely to increase!! I sold my copy...

The attack was described as "frenzied"..which it surely was...more like an assassination than a spare of the moment killing. Any thoughts ROD on GANNON'S reconstruction of the actual chain of events...

ROD,yes I agree as I said earlier there is no hard evidence against MARSDEN,but I'm sure LILY HALL clearly saw WALLACE talking to a man who fitted his description at the right place & right time..why...

Glad to see the book has provoked such differences of opinion..I thought it would! Surely none of us can accuse JOHN GANNON of not doing his research for this new book.... its full of new facts &...

I agree ..I thought the title warrented a proper hardback book with a dustjacket given the massive interest in the case & the fact that its over 10 years since MURPHY. I felt AMBERLEY cut corners...

THANKS JOHN...the more you read about the case,the more it intrigues!! I've been fascinated by it all my life as was my father. As a boy,he was attending school at St.Margarets School where WHW...

Thanks JON.I agree with you 100%!! I think the new book moves things on considerably. however the reason for the blackmail threat dosnt fit for me ..I think revealing the stealing from The...

Thanks BURKHILLY..I think you are very wise...perhaps I should have kept stum like ROD sensibly did..until a few more have read it!! IAN

Hi BURKHILLY.glad you have got your copy,AMAZON'S service is excellent for books,though The W.H.SMITH service that ROD highlighted was unbeatable for me!..I have now read the book which I really...

Sorry to hear you havnt got the new book yet GED...WATERSTONES in Liverpool had it last week..so they must have sold out...(the Ormskirk branch is my LOCAL shop too,but I dont think they stocked...

Hi ROD...I'm a slow reader & the print is small..but I read the first 50 pages last night,before I fell asleep.JOHN has certainly put in a terriffic amount of research..the detailed background to...

THE DEVIL IN THE DETAIL..just got my copy from W.H.SMITH(on pre-order..THANKS ROD!!)!! Having only read the Prologue & The Preface so far..its certainly well written & I dont recognise some of the...

Really glad the "thread" is back GED!! I havnt got a copy yet,but I understand JOHN GANNON'S book is in WATERSTONES today!! IAN(FJumble)

GOOD POINT ,ROD..I dont think Julia's age is the sole motive..but I do believe it was a factor(more so than a botched robbery!) He definately married her thinking she was the same age as himself...so...

Just to clarify MARK...if you havnt got the book or seen a copy how on earth do you know A)its got the mortuary photographs in it? B) JOSEPH MARSDEN is complety in the clear,when you dont even know...

Thanks GED.I agree with you that PARRY must be Qualtrough,even disregarding his phoney alibi........it is too far fetched to imagine 52 year old WHW ringing the Chess Club & convincing a man he knew...

HNW Ged...I agree with your take on MURPHY..I devoured it in 2001 on publication & I was very happy with it initially..especially JULIA's age...but I lost faith in it as soon as he reverted to the...
