I thought this would plod along-but once I got going with it, I couldn't put it down! It's a feat of literary wizardry to write True Crime and not have a little judgement sneak in, but Ms. Summerscale has practiced this wizardry! A DETAILED telling of the Plaistow Horror from right before; right after; trial; aftermath; and long after; with a historian's attention to detail and a human's attention to heart. This is one of the most, engaging and extraordinary true crime books I've ever read, and the epilogue will stun you! So glad I read this!
