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.
A historical thriller, the author took pains to get correct. As a bonus you can click the footnotes and see how the author wrote the scene. I love that there is a lot packed into a very short story. It left me wishing it was longer.
From Vince's list on murder location books from a superfan.
