#WomensPrizeNF It‘s obvious Summerscale has done the research and thoroughly explored all aspects of the case, including the time period. Apparently a notorious case in England, these murders of women in the 1950s illuminate the hardships for women and the misogyny that permeated society. The trial and aftermath of the case are explored, and I kept feeling like this took place way longer ago than just the 50s because things have changed so much.

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.

Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. It‘s a story about grisly serial murders in post-WWII London. We see how two different journalists covered the notorious crimes for both newspaper and legal review case study. It‘s a must-read for true crime addicts, but WARNING: sexual violence to women. #truecrime

Librarybelle I‘m looking forward to this one! 2w

I absolutely loved this! Such a detailed study, not only of the two main characters but also of the peripheral players and the town itself.

Catherine and George Clare have moved from the city to a farmhouse haunted by a previous tragedy, when Catherine is also found murdered.

Thanks for sending this to me some time ago @BarbaraBB - it‘s one that I‘m going to be thinking about for quite some time!

BarbaraBB Glad you loved it! I hope you‘re having a great time! 3w
