Book review...

Mr Brigg's Hat by Kate Colquhoun - well I though this would be in a similar vein to a book I read last year about a peculiar and unsolved murder in Victorian times (can't recall the name of the book now or the author; hence why I am keeping a note this year of my reading!)  And I suppose in some ways it was. But it was not as gripping, and I kept reading just to see if the right person had stood accused. But it was a little bit of a slog to get through really, and I'm not convinced I'd read another by the same author. It did make me realise I suppose how well we do these days with crime detection and I wonder how many innocent in the past were sent to the gallows! - cheery thoughts..
