Ruxton: The First Modern Murder by Crime Time Inc co-host Tom Wood maintains its position as the publisher's top-selling book for the third consecutive year. The book's strong performance was bolstered in 2023 when it became Ringwood's inaugural audiobook release.
The work continues to gain momentum with significant media developments on the horizon. An adaptation series has been commissioned through the American podcast Small Town Dicks, while preliminary discussions are underway regarding a potential Netflix mini-series adaptation.
Given these upcoming projects, the publication appears positioned to dominate sales rankings for the foreseeable future. The book tells the groundbreaking story of the first murder case solved through forensic science.
Literary critic Val McDermid offered this assessment: "A revelatory account… grips like a thriller. And a damn good read."
The book is available in paperback and Kindle editions.
