Blackmail, Sex and Lies: A Victorian True Crime Murder Mystery by Kathryn McMaster
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fictional account, though with a selection of their real letters that they wrote to each other, of the relationship between Madeleine Hamilton Smith, and her lover, Pierre Emile L’Angelier. Set in Glasgow, Scotland in 1857. The story recounts their meeting and following relationship which results in the death of L'Angelier.
An interesting read.
