I've just been reading a book on a Victorian murder case, Did she kill him? A victorian tale of Deception, Adultery & Arsenic by Kat Colquhoun. Its an interesting read into, if nothing else, victorian medicines and a suffocating and ambitious middle class!

Did you read Erik Larson's Thunderstruck? It's just after the Victorian era but he combines a murder case with the development of the radio. It was really interesting. You learn about both the culture of the era and the technology of radio and pharmacies at the same time.
