SCOTLAND YARD A History of the London Police Force's Most Infamous Murder Cases

Harry Myers dives into the role of narrator for this "History of the London Police Force's Most Infamous Murder Cases." Beginning with the Ratcliffe Highway Murders in 1811, these detailed accounts of the force and a panoply of murders include Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel Murders. Myers uses a gritty tone and an educated London accent for the narrative and various accents for the dialogue of judges, barristers, and doctors; heavily inflected voices for merchant and working classes; and a flat American accent for New York newspaper accounts. Myers also captures the gruesome murders and dismemberments as told through newspaper articles, case files, trial transcripts, and detectives' accounts. Perfect for fans of true crime and urban histories. M.B.K. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
