On December 20, 1881, seven-year-old Georgina Moore vanished from outside her school in Pimlico, London. Had she just gone missing or was this another in the string of child abductions that had plagued the capital in recent times?
Neighbourhood gossip thought otherwise. It fixed responsibility for the disappearance squarely on a local woman named Esther Pay, who until recently had been the mistress of Georgie's father. But when Scotland Yard detectives came calling, sexy, sassy Esther just laughed them off, flaunting a seemingly impregnable alibi.
But the detectives kept digging and in doing so uncovered an almost unbelievable saga of sex and betrayal that would lead to one of the most sensational trials ever heard in a Victorian courtroom.
In The Killing of Georgie Moore, noted forensic science author Colin Evans presents a never-before-told story that is sure to appeal to true-crime aficionados everywhere.

I've just finished reading this, and I literally could not put it down. I'm a great fan of Victorian true crime, and hadn't heard of this particular case before, so I found it intriguing. The book is meticulously researched, with great use made of the media of the day. Evans' theory of how the murder was carried out is compelling (although I do feel that it doesn't tie up ALL the ends). I also feel that the theory could have been expanded upon - only the last 2-3 pages of the book are devoted to it.Unfortunately, though, an otherwise excellent account is marred by terrible editing/proofreading.
The book (or, at least, the Kindle edition) contains HUNDREDS of mistakes, including inconsistencies (e.g. Pollock/Polllock/Pollack, Humphrey/Humphreys, Esther Pay/Esther pay, Railway Inn/Railway In, stage craft/stagecraft, kid gloves/kid-gloves, Hope Pole/Hop Pole), misplaced apostrophes and commas, missing parenthetical commas (i.e. the opening comma is there, but the closing one is not), missing words (“two-year son” instead of “two-year-OLD” son), typos (“take care off”, rather than “take care OF”), etc.
The errors are so numerous that they mar the very high quality of the writing, and undermine its credibility, and this is a real shame.
I'm hoping that the author will issue a revised edition with the errors corrected - and perhaps include an expanded theory?

The Killing of Georgie Moore A TrueLife Victorian Mystery eBook Colin Evans Reviews
It had so many other things going on. That poor little girl.
Very interesting Victorian child murder of Georgianna Moore. Well written with lots of detail and while child murder is shocking in any age or time this one has no salaciousness of any kind. Also well proof read! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Victorian murders of any kind.
