Poisoners are usually both clever and devious. 'Nurse' Waddingham was certainly not the former, but definitely the latter. September 1935 brought to Nottingham what would prove the most famous murder in the City during the inter-war years. This centred on a 'bogus' Nurse named Dorothea Nancy Waddingham and her lover Ronald Joseph Sullivan. And the kind act of an invalid resident in the un-registered Nursing Home at 32 Devon Drive, Sherwood. Until now this callous murder has been written about most inaccurately in anthologies of murder. Now a new book written by Stephen Morris, a medical author for 45 years, with a clinical eye for significant medical, forensic and legal detail, clearly relates the true facts. This is a definitive account of the Coroner's Inquest into the death of Ada Baguley and the participants of this and the trial of Waddingham and Sullivan in February 1936.

Mick Hucknall discloses information about his private life, inspirations, the stories behind his biggest songs, fellow band-members, and so much more in the only official Simply Red biography Between the awards ceremonies, world tours, writing, and making hit records, Mick Hucknall has found the time to lead a colorful private life. He has attracted more than his fair share of attention from the world's tabloid press—but he is a famously private man, and up to now has revealed little about the history of the band and the part he has played in it. Here, in the only official Simply Red biography, he talks about all this and more—while also going in depth about his greatest influences and heroes. Embellished with photographs, many from Hucknall's personal collection, this revealing read offers fascinating insight into one of the biggest bands to emerge in the past three decades—as well as an illuminating portrait of the man who founded it.
