Bestselling UK author Kate Summerscale joins me to talk about her book, “The Wicked Boy”. Two young boys, Robert and Nattie Coombs, conspire to murder their mother in Victorian-era London. While the murder is gruesome and sensational, an uplifting event years later gives hope that rehabilitation can have a positive effect on a young criminal’s life.

On The Wicked Boy, I really want to hear the finish, but it cuts off before the author is done speaking about finding the friend of Robert. Can the file be fixed? It cuts off on Apple Podcasts, too. Thanks!
Thanks for telling me! I’ll get it fixed asap.
