Now, this is a charming little book if you like murder and mayhem that is. Also good if you enjoy a bit of London history. This book takes you on various walking tours through London and points out where various crimes took place. Some of the buildings are there anymore but you get the idea. The section has a map and the loveliest little drawings. At first, I thought I would not like the drawings but I grew to like them and I think they added rather than subtracted from the book. The book was packed full of every kind of murder and law-breaking from the murder of the first police officer to gangland murders. The saddest to me was the beating and starving to death of a little girl named Frances in 1829, a workhouse orphan, who was apprenticed out to a lacemaker. I guess the abuse of these children was commonplace. This book was great because the entries were short, perfect to read between chores. Also great to read in quarantine when I was feeling restless and could not concentrate. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a chance to read this interesting book. ( )
