Argh!! Absolutely gripping, wonderfully researched and beautifully written, just like ‘Say Nothing’. Just makes you so angry that the Sacklers still haven’t truly seen justice. Radden Keefe ties so many different strands of such a complex story together so well, while keeping it interesting and gripping right until the end. We’re lucky to have him around and I can’t wait to see what he turns his attention to next.

Unbelievably eye opening to the opioid crisis. I cannot recommend this book enough. The Sackler Family truly needs to be held accountable for the harm that they have caused.
