The Malvern Murders: A Victorian Crime Story
Kerry Tombs was born in Smethwick, near Birmingham, in 1945. After a career in teaching in both England and Australia, he moved to Malvern in 1982, where he became a local genealogist, lecturer and bookseller. He has set The Malvern Murders in a variety of Malvern locations including St.Ann's Well, Malvern College, the British Camp and the Priory Church - and in the nearby villages of Colwall and Mathon and town of Ledbury. Kerry Tombs has recently completed his autobiography 'Passing By' which mainly deals with his childhood in North Worcestershire in the 1950's - and has begun work on the sequel to the Malvern Murders, entitled The Worcester Whisperers. He now lives in Brittany in northern France.
