London Falling

i listened to this in one sitting on a long flight (1.3 speed) and it put me in the best state of suspended time and space, I was IN IT. The storytelling, the layers, the depth of his investigative journalism, excellent.

I’m currently listening to this audiobook, so I guess it’s the aural equivalent of a page turner. A complex true crime thriller, the author narrates this story of a 19 year old London boy who is found dead. It links so many different narratives; parenting a troubled child, Russian oligarchs, the London underworld, and colonialism.
