Some Run Crooked: John Buxton Hilton

In Peak Forest, Derbyshire, a curious and anachronistic privilege still existed - a seventeenth century chapel outside the jurisdiction of bishops, where the priest had the right to solemnise marriage according to a set of rather liberal rules. In 1758, a young eloping couple were murdered on their way to Peak Forest. Two hundred years later, Julie Wimpole comes as a stranger to the village of Peak Low and everyone believes she is there to qualify for the fifteen days of residency needed in order to marry. But some of the villagers seem to know more about her than they like to admit - and she seems to know a lot about them. What did Julie know about another girl who was murdered in 1940 as she waited for residency qualification to marry?
