I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Such a good book; reads like a thriller, but with the appropriate gravity for a book about tragedy. Sort of a follow up to Say Nothing

Similar to Say Nothing but focuses on the story of the other man at the top of the IRA/Sinn Féin, Martin McGuinness. Torn on whether Scappaticci was a bad guy for acting in the interest of the Crown. Rest in peace, Frank Hegarty.

A look into the troubles in Northern Ireland when the IRA was a big force in the area.
The book was more about politics and history than a true crime book. The shooting was sort of what the story was weaved around but still not the focus of the book.
This was a dense book, and if you're not familiar with the topic it's full of names and places that are hard to keep track of.
Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars
The narrator spoke quite fast and I had to keep turning down the speed to keep up. He was decent for a non-fiction narrator, not fantastic or terrible.
