Book Reviews: The Invention of Murder

This weeks #bookoftheweek is The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime by Judith Flanders. This fantastic review of some of the most infamous murders and murderers of 19th century England shows us how those crimes impacted and influenced our modern culture and obsession with true crime.

The accompanying cocktail is a Ghoul's Mule, chosen because the Victorians were positively ghoulish with their obsession:
