Decent enough and enjoyable thus far, but about half way through, somewhere in chapter 6, the author lifts a sentence verbatim from Judith Flanders’ “The Invention of Murder.” I’ve only listened to audiobook versions of both, but even with a footnote—or on the condition that both authors are quoting a different source—the fact that it’s uncredited is pretty suspicious. Plagiarism at worst, lazy at best
