Bad theory, good result
Great for true crime fans, even if you don't know about Lord Lucan.
Mystery Solved Like Winch, I recall an articulate and clearly well read Englishman who received "out of place" visitors from the UK. He did play backgammon and from memory was very reserved. The man depicted in the top photo opposite page 48, is in my opinion, Halpin. The man featured on the front cover and elsewhere in the book, is not. He is the articulate, quiet, backgammon playing Englishman I describe. When all is said and done, this book has rekindled the saga and will leave the reader scratching their head, asking, "Is it, or isn't it him?" I knew both men. The mystery has in my opinion been solved.
Tantalizing Read! MacLaughlin gives us much detail concerning the life of Lucan, his foibles and dark nature developing with his love of gambling.His marriage to social climber Veronica Duncan began well enough, but the erratic behaviour of Lady Lucan coupled with the spiral of Lord Lucan's fortunes at the gaming tables brought misfortune to their home as well.The final days brought a bitter custody dispute over their three children.Lord Lucan was initially granted temporary custody, but subsequently lost it when he overstepped the authority of the courts and took the children himself.He was left with a large legal bill, one he could not afford.And this is when it is believed he started making his plans. Lord Lucan was well placed aristocracy, which was to the detriment of the murdered nanny, Sandra Rivet.Something that is obvious in this book is the concern the author has for the victim, and her son who was left motherless.Scotland Yard treated Lord Lucan with kid gloves in the hours and days after the murder.This enabled Lucan to make his getaway, using his network of close-mouthed, arrogant (by reason of wealth and class) friends to aid in his escape from the law.Lord Lucan's friends surrounded and protected him in his trouble, and helped him not only leave England, but brought him money and shared their friendship with him while Lucan was hiding in Goa, India. MacLaughlin provides us compelling evidence that Lord Lucan made his way down to Goa, India, to live out his life in a drunken stupor.His witness list includes Indians who worked and lived on the shores of this once renegade spot on the map.Lord Lucan as Barry Halpin had many similarities, including backgammon gambling, alcohol, and a love for music. After death by cirrhosis, the end of Lucan came in a pyrotechnic display. His body was doused in his favourite drink, feni, and burned on a pyre.The ashes were spread at the bottom of a waterfall, and it was his fait accompli.He had completely disappeared, and escaped the long arm of the law.But I wonder, with the life Lucan lived in Goa, if some hand of justice wasn't dealt him after all.
