A review by kimham_bookstagram
American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst by Jeffrey Toobin

4.0

As a history buff and true crime lover, the Patty Hearst kidnapping has always fascinated me even though I was far too young at the time to understand it or the aftermath. 
This book was engrossing from start to finish. It was well researched and organized. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was excellent. 
There’s some name-dropping of people associated with the SLA and the Hearst family that is quite eyebrow-raising. 
A captivating, thought-provoking read!
