John Reginald Christie was the most notorious murderer of his era. On the outside he was every inch the Old Fashioned Englishman, respectable norms personified. But inside the walls and under the floors of his flat at 10 Rillington Place were the bodies of the women and babies he had killed. Our guest today is Kate Summerscale, groundbreaking true-crime writer whose book is The Peepshow: The Murders at 10 Rillington Place.
