Another fantastic read from Patrick Radden Keefe. Though I'm not a huge fan of true crime, this felt thoroughly researched rather than sensationalised, setting the tales of billionaires and dirty money against a very intimate family portrait.
Despite still being very binge-able, I would say this is weaker than Say Nothing or Empire of Pain. Some of the threads felt like dead ends, lacking the payoff, and others were meandering too far from the central thread.
It's also written from Zac's parents' perspective which is fine but a little limiting, as none of their own actions get the same scrutiny as everyone else's.
- Might reread, perhaps as part of a big PRK reread
- Might recommend - though would recommend Say Nothing first
