The Peepshow: The Murders at 10 Rillington Place by Kate Summerscale

2.5

---

I was looking forward to this being my non-fiction of the month but was largely disappointed.  The narrative was all over the place, it jumps from person to person and story to story with little to no sense.  I also am baffled by the sheer amount of detail about an author (Frynn? I think) but only a few paragraphs for each woman who Reg Christie murdered.  There was almost no substance to the author's words and she seemed to veer off on tangents in order to make a point that was either irrelevant or over explained.  I only finished this to find out if Reg would get away with it, luckily he didn't but aside from that this book was very underwhelming and entirely too long.
