Why read it?
1 author picked The Hog Lane Murders as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this fast, fun short story set in 16th-century London. I love scenes that exude character. Finding a body anywhere is gruesome, but finding one in a unique setting is magical. Especially when the author and the main character have the same last names.

From Vince's list on murder location books from a superfan.
