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

dark emotional hopeful informative slow-paced

3.5

Though slow, I found this book to be quite interesting. I am a fan of true crime but don’t usually hear about crime in late 1800s London. It was intriguing to hear about how the time of the murder affected the outcome and to see the redemption arc.
