Rating: Reviewed by: BRW BLOCKED, 09 Apr 2013 When I started to read this book, I wasn’t sure what I would find and if I would actually like it as it was the first time I had read a ‘true crime’ genre of book. What I did fine was an intriguing, riveting read which kept me hooked until the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this as a book to read. The book was well researched and has encouraged me to read more Victorian / Edwardian true crime books.
