Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe

3.5

challenging dark informative tense slow-paced

---

A wildly comprehensive book on a notoriously difficult to tackle subject. I learned TONS, but I think the book was too long. It could have been trimmed down.
