"At that moment the world changed…"
Erik Larson has a winning formula that he deploys well in his books. He takes on a historical event(s), links them with other things happening in the same period, sometimes thru a specific study of a person, and while combining those elements he explores the age in which the events he focuses on happened. It works. "Thunderstruck" is no exception, although I think it works slightly less successfully than in his other books.
The events that Larson connects in "Thunderstruck" are Marconi's invention and development of the wireless telegraph, and a murder that enthralled London (and through the tool of Marconi's wireless, the world) in the early 20th century. Although the connection is a bit tenuous at times, this text gives a nice insight into both events and into the Edwardian period/culture in general.
The last 100 pages or so are gripping reading. Larson has not disappointed me yet, and "Thunderstruck" is a unique take on some interesting events that shaped the 20th century.
