History's Greatest Mysteries
History's Greatest Mysteries: And the Secrets Behind Them | Bill Price
5 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
History's Greatest Mysteries delves into the grey areas to examine the imponderable and sometimes unlikely stories of actual events and real people. From the gruesome murders committed by Jack the Ripper to the whereabouts of Lord Lucan, and from the loss of an entire continent to the case of a missing racehorse, we take a canter through history in an effort to shed a little light on to questions which, in all honesty, are never going to yield definitive answers. Some of the stories related in the following pages are deadly serious, some rather less so. There are cases of determined individuals who have struggled against the odds in an attempt to unravel the truth, while in others people have not let the facts get in the way and have made up any old nonsense by way of an explanation.

I really enjoyed this #nonfiction #history book about strange events, people, and places.
Most of these mysteries have a perfectly logical explanation but they are fun to read about.

Where is March even gone?

For me, it was a whirlwind of preparation for the #AtoZChallenge on my blog. I drafted all my 26 posts for April. I'm once again blogging about the Twenties. This is the perfect year!

Sorry to say l wasn't as active as l would have liked in the Reading Ireland Month.

Time to go back to Litsy challenges. But you can read my 1920s posts here https://theoldshelter.com/living-the-twenties-atozchallenge-2020-theme-reveal/
