What's a nonfiction book that reads like a novel? Something that really pulls you in and is impossible to put down? I want to read more nonfiction but have such a hard time reaching for that over the novels/scifi that I love!

Are you open to memoir? If so, are there any themes/subjects you prefer?

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper, Hallie Runbenhold – could not put it down, have reread it – audiobook format, and it was just as good.

Four Shots in the Night by Henry Hemmings – The true story of “Stakeknife” a British agent that infiltrated the IRA and got in so deep that there were suspicions he murdered another undercover British agent in order to maintain his cover

Educated, by Tara Westover. Got through a chapter or two before I realized it was a memoir and is apparently true.
Also just started In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote.
