The gripping investigation into the case that continues to shock Britain.
Lucy Letby appeared to be an ordinary young nurse, devoted to caring for premature and vulnerable babies. Yet following one of the longest murder trials in British legal history, she was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others. Her convictions have since become the subject of intense public debate, ensuring this extraordinary case remains one of the most scrutinised and talked-about in modern Britain.
Drawing on extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with Letby, together with unrivalled access to sources and documents, this award-winning book traces her journey from childhood to prison while examining the events at the Countess of Chester Hospital, the police investigation and the evidence presented at trial.
Thoughtful, meticulously researched and open-minded, Unmasking Lucy Letby explores one of the most controversial criminal cases of our time - and the one, big question that continues to surround it: is Lucy Letby innocent or guilty?
