Thunderstruck by Eric Larson

Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City, intertwines the story of Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of wireless telegraphy, and Hawley Crippen, a suspect in one of the most notorious murders in British history, to create a non-fiction tale of suspense that travels across the Atlantic. Larson attempts to link a fascinating new form of communication with the quest for a killer. Join us for an interesting discussion of Larson’s book and tempting desserts.
