American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land
by Monica Hesse
Arson is not usually a hot topic in the true crime genre, but Hesse makes her book about an arson spree that burned down nearly a hundred abandoned buildings on the Eastern Shore of Virginia absolutely riveting. It's not only about the arsons. It's also about a rural community. It's about volunteer firefighting. It's about the decay of a once-wealthy area.
This was a very fascinating and worthwhile nonfiction and I'm very glad I read it.
