This is a great look at how murder has been used for entertainment purposes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in England. I covers everything from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Alfred Hitchcock. If you‘re a true crime fan or a detective fiction fan, I highly recommend this book. This book is especially wonderful for Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock fans, as Worsley has interesting little tidbits on each of their lives.👇🏻
I‘m a twisted nut job?! Well, at least you all know what you‘re in for then. 🤷🏼♀️ 🤣😂🤣

Scared Straight: The Victorian Edition
As an odd child who fell asleep to Alfred Hitchcock movies at 3 in the morning starting at the age of three, this is an intriguing fact about him.

This seems a bit harsh...but it certainly fits Middlemarch to a T. Pratchett and Gaiman are exceptions to the rule, then?

This is really interesting. We usually think of this period as being a hot mess for investigations, but apparently they got the killer the vast majority of the time.

This is the other case (the first being Lizzie Borden) that got me into true crime... well, those two and a strange Unsolved Mysteries episode in which a superman actor was killing in the middle of a Hollywood party and no one noticed!!!

This is an interesting theory that the Jack the Ripper cases might not have all been committed by a single person. Maybe it was two different people (one who dissected and one that didn‘t), or five different killers. 🤷🏼♀️ That certainly sheds a different light on things.

@TheBookHippie and we thought they bungled the Borden case. Good grief.

Reading seems to be a popular, Victorian era activity for the fine imprisoned lady.
