A well-researched and expertly constructed investigative piece.
I rather enjoyed the early chapters and getting a broader view of family personalities and dynamics. The middle dragged slightly but the author wraps up the book really well.
However, the amount of names mentioned confused me, and it is a very niche read. I also did think there'd be more of a focus on the opioid crisis itself but that was my own misunderstanding.
