The Irish Coroner

Death, murder and politics in Co. Monaghan, 1846-78

Michelle McGoff-McCann

“Michelle McGoff-McCann’s The Irish Coroner is another accessible academic work that will appeal to the right general reader. William Charles Waddell served as coroner of north County Monaghan for over three decades, and McGoff-McCann has had the good fortune to get her hands on his three casebooks. Such books are rare in Irish historiography”. History Ireland, September/October 2023
