I've spent my Corona lockdown two ways - playing trivia games and watching history documentaries on YouTube, several of them presented by Lucy Worley. One I haven't watched (yet) is A Very British Murder, which I thought was going to focus on our affection for fictional murders. While she does cover the Golden Age British writers and the pulp novelist who cast a more jaded eye on my favorite genre, most of the book discusses our interest in true crime. Since novel writing isn't very cinematic, I should have expected this, and while I enjoyed the book, I suspect that the series is better.
