The sheer overkill of dates and addresses in this book sadly turned it from being interesting, into hard work for me. You really don’t need the full addresses (including postcode and phone number) for so many places, nor to include the dates of birth of irrelevant people (such as “X left the house and her family, including 5 children (A, born ____, B, born ____)…”).
Some bits were so short they were only two sentences long. Others dragged on and on and on. I thought the Ward/Keeler/Profumo section would never end.
Great in premise, but lost a bit in delivery for me, unfortunately. I received a free ARC copy of this via NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review.

Lots of great information but the addresses were a bit excessive. I love unusual history.

I find it a very interesting book that I wish to make the most of on my next trip to Britain, however, I think the way it's presented, the editing, and such is very discouraging. Not compelling to keep reading with so much text presented in such a bland format.

It was a lot of fun and it's the perfect book if you want to learn about trivia, historical facts, crime and a lot of other info.
It's a book you can read a bit at a time and enjoyed it.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
