Though this was not as gripping as the other two books I have read by Erik Larson (I think because the evil is not dastardly, it is mild-mannered), it was still quite interesting and I learned a lot about Marconi and the first decade of the last century. At first I couldn't see the connection between Marconi and Crippen, but the connection is made late in the book and the ending is most satisfying. I also enjoyed the Epilogue which finished the story of all important characters, ships, and even places.
I am now about to start the fifth book in the Poldark series, The Black Moon by Winston Graham.
