Book Discussion: London's Falling by P.R. Keefe

Unlike the usual BYOB format of this group, this is an assigned reading format. We recommend you read some of the book to join the discussion :) About the book: London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth From one of the most acclaimed authors/journalist, a spellbinding account of a family devastated by the sudden death of their nineteen-year-old son, only to discover that he had created a secret life which drew him into the dangerous criminal underworld that lies beneath London’s glittering surface. “London Falling, is [Keefe’s] most gripping book yet, using its initially narrow premise . . . as an entry point into the more expansive story of London’s underworld and the downstream effects of what happens when greed corrupts a city at its highest levels. As always with Keefe the pages turn themselves, and he sidesteps the exploitative pitfalls of the true-crime genre by finding thrills in the margins. . . . When Keefe returns to Brettler’s story, it becomes one about modern parenting and the search for peace amid unresolvable grief.” —New York Magazine DM me for Whatsapp Group Link.
