François finished reading Where Law Ends by Andrew Weissman
In May 2017, Robert Mueller was tapped to lead an inquiry into Russian interference in …
This reads like a thriller, even thought it is supposed to be a true story. While i all pretty sure the facts are correct, what bothers me is the constant pause of the author for everyone he worked with. I am glad for him he had such a wonderful dream team. However, after a hundred pages it starts to feel like repetitions... There is also the inevitable account settling at the end, but all in all an interesting book that not only documents Russian intervention in the us election but sheds a light on a possible explanation of trump's attitude to Russia and Ukraine invasion. Worth the time.

Très bon bouquin, dernier de la trilogie Harry Quebert. On ferme un pan secondaire de l'histoire HQ, même s'il se développe en pan primaire. Pas mon préféré des trois, masi bien fichu quand même.
