The Wicked Boy: The Mystery of a Victorian Child Murderer by Kate Summerscale

1.0

---

This is the second of her Victorian-type, historical mysteries and unfortunately I haven’t found either all that interesting. Perhaps it’s the lack of information. Perhaps it’s the court transcript that reveals nothing. Or maybe it’s just the story that veers towards the boring after several chapters. Whatever it was, just not a book that grabbed my attention and held it.
