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

informative tense medium-paced

4.0

Such a compelling and beautifully structured book. This is a master class in nonfiction storytelling. Keefe develops character and tension like it's a crime novel as he delves into the intricacies of The Troubles from the on-the-ground soldiers of the fight, to the British Army forces trying to take them down, all the way to a years-long journey to discover the truth behind what happened to an abducted mother caught in the middle of it all.
