A review by violentdelights
Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe

5.0

I devoured this 500-something book in three days, reading at work and in the car and waiting impatiently until I could read it again. A multigenerational narrative that reads like a thriller, it is gripping and overwhelming and horrifying and - most of all - impossible to put down. Will be recommending to everyone I know, regardless of their preferred genre.
