Thunderstruck by Erik Larson
4.0

Not as riveting as Devil in the White City or Dead Wake, but a great piece of narrative fiction none the less.

I had heard of Crippen before of course, but I wasn't fully familiar with his story. Unlike many reviewers, I also enjoyed the race and the history behind Marconi and the wireless technology.

A fantastic read!
