4.0

I picked this book up and was genuinely stunned (what turned out to be a few hours later) to realize I'd come to the last page without putting it down. The detail so deftly packed into such few words is really impressive (and Braithwaite's an addictive writer to boot)
Definitely involves some dark topics, so tread carefully if you're sensitive to those - but they're not gratuitous or insensitively handled.
