Overview

Having spent her formative years as an inmate of the Liverpool Workhouse, Brownlow Hill, 16 year old Maisie Mahoney had long since accepted her lowly position in society. However, whilst working as a domestic servant for the seemingly respectable Dr Dalton and his family in the affluent area of Eastham, Wirral, Maisie begins to see the world through different eyes as she realises things are not always as they at first appear. When she meets local Poulterer Henry Blakeman, she is awakened to the possibility of a new life - one of passion, wealth and security. As she obsesses over the future she desires, it seems she will go to astonishing lengths to achieve her goal - even ridding herself of her child. A rich tapestry interwoven with complex and fascinating historical and legal perspectives provides the backdrop for Murder Must Foul. Based on true events, it is a remarkable and compelling tale which sheds light on some of the darkest areas of life in Victorian England whilst highlighting some of the desperate issues faced by single mothers during that period.
