A Tale of Two Murders

I'm not quite sure when I first heard about Edith Thompson. Given how much Christie, etc., I've read, it was probably a while ago though (this book even uses quotes from Christie and others that reference the case). I've watched Another Life, I have A Pin to See the Peepshow and Messalina of the Suburbs to read. There's just something fascinating about this case, so when I heard about this book I knew had to read it.

This was really well done. I wish it was a bit more linear of a recounting, but the information is so well presented and the sources are used really well. (I can see why Laura Thompson's new book is an edited compilation of the letters!) There's so much detail here. You really get a feel for Edith and Freddy (though he less so). Highly recommend this if you like true crime and/or history.
