American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land by Monica Hesse

4.0

informative mysterious fast-paced

This book kept me interested the whole time which is rare for me with nonfiction. I really enjoyed how deeply the journalist went into everyone’s stories and personality. She painted a detailed picture of Accomack county that felt both like a story and like real life. I wish we got to know Tonya and Charlie a bit more but I also understand she pretty much got the most information she could out of them.
