This is an amazing book. It covered so many different areas of the Georgian period, and I learned so much. I love when there are tons of pictures included right alongside the text, and there were so many amazing photos and drawings in the book.

A most interesting book and I really liked the way the author presented the story. Each chapter lists the date, place and name/s of the condemned. You not only get the story of the hangman himself but of the convicted as well. The author does a notable job of presenting an engrossing tale and his research shows. You will find this one hard to put down. Bonus pictures at the end.
