About Blackmail, Sex and Lies: A True Crime Victorian Murder Mystery by Kathryn McMaster
Blackmail, Sex and Lies is a novel, based on a true story set in Glasgow, Scotland, 1857. Vengeful actions, calculating seduction, illicit sex, blackmail, and murder with an ill-timed death – this novel has it all.
This is a story of deception, scandal, and fractured traditional Victorian social values. It is the tale of a naïve, young woman caught up in a whirlwind romance with an older man. However, matters become complicated when a love triangle ensues. Both protagonists have personality flaws that inevitably result in poor choices, and a tragic end.
Written in British English as creative nonfiction.
