Shooting Victoria

Madness, Mayhem, and the Rebirth of the British Monarchy

An interesting but ultimately unsatisfying book. The style (breezy) is at odds with the topic. Murphy views the 19th century, and Britain's monarchy, through 21st century eyes. What was most annoying though was the use of Clayton's end notes. The end notes that aren't referenced in the text, and in the notes themselves are only referenced by a page number. If you are going to go to the bother of including notes, DO IT PROPERLY. This seems to be the fashion in US published semi academic works.
