The Art of the English Murder by Lucy Worsley, 312 pages

I'd seen this when a patron checked it out and have been eagerly awaiting its return. It examines England's fascination with murder, especially in the written word. Starting with the broadsides that dealt in murders, trials and the hangings, through souvenirs for famous murders, and up to the introduction of the detective into literature. This was filled with lots and lots of interesting trivia and details, a great read for any mystery-loving Anglophile.
