A true retelling of macabre and significant past events, how could I not be desperate to read more?! As a person partial to dark murder series on Netflix and constant watcher of real murder trials, this book is right up my dark alley.

The introduction itself captivated me, delving into the history of defining murder, intentions for it and punishments. It is fascinating to see how over decades, the nuances within the definition is the same but the reaction and fore-coming punishment has adapted and changed from the "eye for an eye" mentality to a pacifist approach.

But not just that is intriguing, the fascinating cover tells so much but so little at the same time. I for one, can say that I cannot wait to read about these past murders, as weird as that sounds!
