For a bookgroup I've been reading James Fox's #truecrime account of the murder of Josslyn Hay in #Kenya in 1941, White Mischief (1982). Frankly I didn't enjoy it, mostly because the white colonialists in the first half C20th spark no empathy at all. However, what is interesting is Fox's account of investigative #journalism before the Internet changed research forever, notably its doggedness & the time required to track down information. @bookstodon
