And…I now interrupt all in-progress reading to start this one. Russell never disappoints, always entertains. Look forward to a great read.

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

Happy 😊 pancakes 🥞 day from the uk 🇬🇧 ☺️mollie moo and I with library 📚 pre orders - I‘m finding the peepshow fascinating 🧐 I wouldn‘t say I‘m enjoying it as the theme/ topic is just so terribly sad 😔 the casual misogyny and racism is making my blood 🩸 boil who the hell would want to live in the 50s let‘s pray 🙏 Wer not moving back towards these despicable attitudes

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

pick

This was cheap on kindle so ended up buying it for #wpnf25. I found the writing really engaging. The way the subject matter was written about through a social commentary lens, aswell as the bits about the newspaper journalist Harry Procter, was done so well. You really get a sense of the time and place. There is no concrete conclusion when it comes to the murders & motives etc but the author has clearly done her research with this book.

Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne | Kate Winkler Dawson

pick

I wasn‘t really surpassed to find out just how much of Catherine Read Arnold Williams‘s 19th century book was. It was really obvious from the beginning. I loved that Kate Winkler Dawson brought in a document examiner. It was interesting to see the weird and random ties to the Borden family (and just how messed up that family apparently was - think Lizzy Borden and her alleged ax).

GingerAntics I liked that Dawson pointed out that we need to focus on victims more than the criminals and avoid propaganda when choosing true crime, but unfortunately, this book is mostly about Catherine Read Arnold Williams and far more secondarily about Sarah Maria Cornell the actual victim. #KateWinklerDawson #TheSinnersAllBow #TrueCrime #History #audiobook #VictimBlaming 2w
