Definitely lived up to the hype! I had only the most superficial knowledge about the Troubles before starting this, so I learned a great deal and was compelled to pause and spend some time looking people and topics up and reading more about the history of this time. I particularly liked the through line of the McConville case as the lens through which this history was viewed. Radden Keefe explains his research and writing process at the end, which I appreciated, and did well in giving people nuance while explaining their horrific actions and choices. The audiobook was well done, hope he reads for more books in the future.
