Such a well-organised and well-researched book. I usually struggle with these kinds of deep-dive documentaries, but the audiobook was easy to follow and very engaging. It's a disturbing read; Keefe weaves us through the history of the Sackler family that spans decades and how their family roots are twined through so many industries and aspects of our everyday lives. A very eye-opening listen/read
