The Dark Side of the Dales is a collection of true stories from in, and around, the villages and towns of the Yorkshire Dales.The book explores a collection of tragic and dark tales of murder, mystery and crime covering the past 200 years. I've spent a great deal of time uncovering the fascinating stories behind some of the most puzzling, pitiful and poignant crimes that shocked and scandalized the communities in the Dales.Wherever possible, the stories include eyewitness accounts, carefully researched details of the cruel realities of life for ordinary, working folk, and lots of interesting social details; to offer a fascinating insight in life in years gone by - really placing you at the heart of each story.There is some sensational, newly uncovered evidence, which may offer answers in two previously unsolved cases, and there is a supernatural element to one of the stories too, tapping into the rich heritage of the area.
