Crippen: A Novel of Murder by John Boyne

4.0

It was an interesting read and definitely setup in an excellent mystery fashion. I had not idea it was based on true events and I wonder the author's motivation for painting the character in this light relative to the light portrayed at the time of the event. I have not the background to compare, so I guess I will need to find some nonfiction pieces to compare against. Overall, quite entertaining and captivating. Regardless, whether an active or passive participant, it certainly is disturbing. In the end it is all about have respect for one's self to avoid going down such a tragic road...
