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

5.0

A fascinating story about how two people burned down a county in a fit of pent-up stress and unfaltering love (at least for one of them). Hesse does a fine job of making a story out of a true event with a lot of moving pieces; everyone involved was well rounded and felt like a character out of a novel.

Books like this remind me why I should I like true crime books so much.
