review:
'Bloody London: 20 Walks in London, Taking in its Gruesome and Horrific History' by David Fathers is a book of gruesome walks through London.
London is an old city and has seen it's share of macabre events from the plague to IRA bombings and the horrific murders of Jack the Ripper. This illustrated book takes the reader on walks through neighborhoods pointing out grisly events like bombings, fires, and ghastly murders.
I like true crime, so the idea of tourism based around it is appealing. Since we can't travel at the current time, it's fun to have at least an armchair visit to places. I wish book had had some photos instead of illustrations, but that is a minor quibble.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Bloomsbury USA and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
