A Very Expensive Poison: The Assassination of Alexander Litvinenko and Putin's War with the West | 
pickIn keeping with my Russian corruption year of reading, I had to read about the Litvinenko affair. The pettiness of the rationale behind his murder, the lack of care of innocent lives, and the brazenness of the whole incident by Russia and Putin is horrifying to read about. Harding‘s brave and well researched book is an important read.
pickSo much more than a tense murder investigation. This book details Putin‘s rise to power, and the beginnings of his hatred of the West. There are Russian spies, radioactive materials, conquests, grudges, downed airliners, and a trail of money. And every bit of it happened in real life. Very readable, but also scary! Harding makes the complicated aspects feel understandable, however illogical.

The little Litsy audio guy better stay away from the tea!!
Just in case the news isn‘t depressing enough, I‘m diving into some investigative writing on just how much of a “bad hombre” Vladimir Putin really is. 😱

I used a lot a restraint today. Just two books from the latest Audible sale. But ohmigosh, there are so many good books on sale!
Can't decide what to read next...
