The shocking and suspenseful behind-the-scenes on the investigative journalism that helped bring Harvey Weinstein down. Seen through the bigger lens of catch&kill campaigns where the wealthy and powerful have the means and the support network to squash and scare- and pay-off any sexual assault accusers. The book reads like a thriller (this will become a movie eventually, right?) and Farrow's writing is engaging, sometimes even candidly personal.

Who knew spy pens are still a thing in our modern day spy era!!!

Doing the audiobook version was a good choice. Farrow doing a whole lot of accents (to more or less success) was entertaining, but they also included the actual audio of the Weinstein NYPD tape. Which felt like a very novel audiobook thing to do.
