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

challenging dark informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.0

A tense exploration of a murder that was part of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which provides a lot of background about the conflict too. At times it was a little slow, but the final third is extremely gripping, with a shocking final reveal. Radden Keefe is forensic with much-needed detail, though this sometimes slows down the central narrative. I’m grateful to have read Say Nothing in order to broaden my knowledge of the region, and would recommend it to others.
