Wicked Children: Murderous Tales from History by Karen Maitland
1.0
I hate giving ratings this low, but when I get a book about child killers I don’t want 30% to be about the killers, 20% to be about poisons and the antidotes, and 50% to be about her other books! Thank goodness it was free.
15 child killers talked about with no page breaks or chapters. Literally paragraphs about each one and the next paragraph was a different child. No longer than 12 pages.
Then the top 10 medieval poisons.
And then 10 antidotes to the medieval poisons.
That was half the book! And that ended up being the whole book! The second half was literally the author promoting her other books and giving chapters to read for those.
