Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe

It's so clear that the author put so much effort into researching and truly understanding the impact of the Sackler Dynasty and their painkiller empire. Many parts of this were extremely powerful and emotional - it cut true and deep.
I listened to this book, which was about twenty hours (it was a lot). I think as far as nonfiction goes, I didn't love the structure of the book - I think the presentation of facts and anecdotes, particularly over audio was sometimes difficult to understand and connect. That's why I rated it a three star.
