[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This is an amazing book detailing regicide, which, frankly, I would have thought would be at a higher rate at 22%. I would actually love a further breakdown more by each century. I think the numbers would be crazy high for some of them.
I learned so much about the different royals in this book. I definitely don't read up on royal history all the time (although I occasionally do follow the Megan and Kate drama). So there was tons here I had never learned about.
Definitely would recommend!

"This latest volume in a series already reviewed and highly praised in Pilot both confirms that author Dilip Sarkar's energy as a writer and diligence as an analysist and historian continues undimmed...such is the level of insight offered in volume 5 that you, like this reviewer, will inevitably want to have the four previous volumes to hand - and be keeping an eye out for the next."

A must read if you are a fan of true crime and especially a fan of all the mystery involving what has to be one of the biggest true crime stories in the world: Jack the Ripper.
A very interesting view on the victims, possible suspects and according to the author the true identity of the ripper.
