Mostly interesting, there were a few drier spots, but luckily they weren't excruciatingly long or anything. I don't find Summerscale's writing inspiring but overall it's fine. I appreciate how she followed the story through all the research she did, which must have been painstaking. Definitely a curious read, with plenty of notes and resources listed in the back. For a readalong, I'd recommend [b:The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime|16045108|The Invention of Murder How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime|Judith Flanders|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1367749663s/16045108.jpg|14980279], which is excellent and never boring.
