Book Reviews of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective
Book Review: Interesting reading
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the true story of the Kent murder. But, I was very distracted by all the comparisons to other cases, other detectives and detective writers.
I feel as though it was more than one book combined together, story lines straying and going off in different directions.
I would have loved more writing about the Kent family only. William Kent in particular seems like a story in itself.
