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.

squirrelbrain Great review! ❤️ 6h
LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to this one! 4h

Hold my beer. This book is bonkers interesting. My True Crime wave continues with the tagged book. Compelling.

This #wpnf25 longlister uses the titular murders to present a wider look at the sociological issues of the poorer side 1950s London, including racism against Black people, prostitution and back-street abortions.

The author looks through the lenses of a newspaper crime reporter and an illness-beset lady crime writer to present different views on the murders, and whether someone was wrongly hanged for one of the crimes.

Engrossing!

Chelsea.Poole Great review. This is one I‘m eagerly awaiting. It publishes in the US May 6. 2w
fredthemoose Thanks for the review! Went through last night and started plotting how best to get my hands on the women‘s nonfiction list. Looking for to this one! 2w

Hooked_on_books Nice! This one sounded interesting from the longlist to me as well @Chelsea.Poole . Alas, we must wait (or order it from Blackwell‘s). 2w
squirrelbrain Ha! Holly @Hooked_on_books - I was going to suggest to @Chelsea.Poole that she ordered from Blackwells. Great minds think alike! 2w
Hooked_on_books They do have free shipping to the US, after all! 2w
Librarybelle I watched her talk about this book through the National Archives of the UK online programming. It sounds so good! 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures I had to order this one! I am looking forward to it, glad to hear you liked it! 2w
squirrelbrain @Librarybelle @ChaoticMissAdventures - I passed it on to hubby last night who is also really enjoying it. His initial thought was that it was more of a social commentary on the times (which it was!) so if you like that kind of book you‘ll really enjoy it. 2w
youneverarrived Sounds really interesting! I like a social commentary sort of book. Thanks for tagging me. This is the most popular of the long list at the library so might be a little while before it gets to me but I‘ll look forward to it. 2w
squirrelbrain It‘s a shame you have such a long wait @youneverarrived 🤨 2w
TheKidUpstairs I'm really looking forward to this one! Like @Chelsea.Poole I've got to wait until May, but I'm already on a library hold list for it! 2w

ShelleyBooksie I'd love to hear what made it so-so. Was it slow paced? 3w
jenniferw88 @ShelleyBooksie medium. It's a high so-so/low pick - I think I wanted more definite answers as to who did it/what really happened. If you liked The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, you might enjoy it better. 3w

This is what I‘m reading this weekend. So far it is about a true life Dr. that was in a tailspin of lie after lie. It goes into very good detail about how Dr. Pignataro went from physician to prisoner.

I can't find myself picking up this one. I have tried for a while now. I am gonna have to #DNF. I love to hear about cults. But this cult, I don't know.. i feel like it took too long to get to it, and it wasn't “sexy“ enough? or “out there“ enough. It doesn't have to be sexy sexy, but like maybe... some shocking, not just general government sux end of the world? Anyway, #DNF

I have yet to read an Anne Rule book that isn‘t great. I love how keeps the focus on the victims. Some of the language and ideas around transgenderism was pretty cringe, otherwise is another fantastic Anne Rule hit.

JenlovesJT47 I‘ve only read the Ted Bundy one but now I own all of them. Which should I read next? 5mo
Lauranahe You own all of them?? 😳 It‘s fine, I‘m not jealous at all. Bitter Harvest was really good, it happened here in Kansas City. 5mo
