Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe

dark informative mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

The way this book is crafted is masterful--using Jean McConville's disappearance as a way to discuss the Troubles made this feel both like a history text and true crime. I listened to the audio book and although I thought it was fantastic, I do think that I missed out on some footnotes etc., and as is the problem with all audio-nonfiction, you can't look at the references. I felt like it took a fairly balanced view on the whole, and made me want to read more about the period and the conflict. Some really fascinating stuff in this, completely enthralling and tragic. Dolours Price in particular was such an interesting figure who I had never heard of.
