Hello book lovers. I just wanted to interrupt this podcast to share Can You Not?

Excuse me? Can you not interrupt this podcast? Some of us are here to appreciate true crime,

ad free, but it's relevant. I want to share my poetry that centers on the lives of true

crime victims. I sat through your poetry recital, now is not the time to be sharing more.

This is my sacred true crime time and you're invading my personal space. I'm invading your

space. You won't leave me alone. You're a total leech and... Death of a bookseller. The

dark, disturbing thriller about toxic female relationships and true crime by Alice Slater.

Hello and welcome to episode 202 of the UK True Crime Podcast. I'm Adam. Today's story from

the midlands is their shocking murder on safety levels and I'm really grateful to one of the top

team of moderators at the UK True Crime Facebook group for researching and writing the case.

A big thank you to Steve Percival. Before we begin, as always, a huge thank you to

all my supporters on Patreon and to those patrons of watching this live as I'm recording this

episode. I'm so grateful for all your support and welcome this week's new members of this

most exclusive club. That is Pete Murphy, Donna Barnard, Craig Stevens and Denise Tybell.

Thank you so much. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. 2020 has been a tough year for us all

and many of us are struggling in certain parts of our lives. For me, it's been finding the right

balance for spending time at work, family and worrying and failing in both. Whatever it is

interfering with your happiness, BetterHelp will assess your needs and match you with your own

licence professional therapists. To be clear, it's not self-help, it's professional

counselling in a safe and private online environment. No more sitting in unwelcoming waiting rooms

and you don't want to wait around once you've made the decision to go ahead so you can start tomorrow

and schedule weekly phone and video sessions and contact your counsellor anytime.
