Spooked: The Secret Rise of Private Spies by Barry Meier

informative

4.0

Easy to read and very compelling. I don't feel like it was in depth enough to have answered all my questions on the intersection between private spying and journalism, but it's definitely given me a broad enough look to want to read deeper on the subject. 

One small nitpick is that sometimes he'll throw in a random personal detail about someone he's talking negatively about in a professional light, which seems a bit unnecessary. I get that they're doing something shitty, I don't need the extra layer of character assassination too.
