Murder: the Biography

This was an absolutely fascinating history of the charge of murder in English/UK law. Sounds like it would be dull, but the author tells of all of the changes through various well known and some lesser known murder cases throughout history.

It was particularly interesting to hear more about the legal sides of some corporate manslaughter cases like Hilsborough and the Grenfell Tower disaster, and how the law changing can then affect the appeal process years later.

I've got another book from this author downloaded so will be getting to that one soon.
