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

3.0

This book was interesting but not quite what I was expecting. In fact I though we’d have a more in depth study about Robert’s mind when in fact this book just relate the facts, trial etc. But this book contained a lot of details about the London of this period, the mentality and how people lived. It was a great introduction to this period.
But to me, the title and blurb were misleading.
