It took me years to get my hands on this book and it was worth the wait. It‘s terrific narrative nonfiction, detailing the story of a fire deliberately set and those impacted by it, then the investigation and trial. Hooper is more convinced of the outcome than I—this book reveals how much nuance there is in our ideas of criminality. I would love to read more of her work.
