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

4.0

---

This is a fascinating true-crime book about a 13-year-old boy who murders his mother in Victorian England. The author does a deep dive into the culture and history of the time as well as the boy's experiences after the murder. I look forward to reading more of her books.
