A Dreadful Murder: The Mysterious Death of Caroline Luard is a novella in the QuickReads series by bestselling British author, Minette Walters. Walters takes the facts surrounding the 1908 murder, in Kent, England, of Caroline Luard and constructs a very plausible story of what might have happened. Walters also captures the feel of the era very well. This is the idea behind James Pattersons Murder of King Tut and Patricia Cornwells Jack the Ripper, but Walters does an infinitely better job in this novella than either of those authors did in their books. Walters previous QuickReads edition, Chickenfeed, was just as expertly constructed. An interesting read.
