The book, while nonfiction, felt like fiction. It was the narrator's favorite read of the year, and they recommended it highly. The book delves into the true crime story of the Monster of Florence, one of the longest and most expensive criminal investigations in Italian history. The book goes through many suspects, leads and misdirection, leaving the reader frustrated and wanting to understand the story.
This might be one of my favorite books of all time. It's a nonfiction book, but it feels like fiction. It feels like all categories. This would be my standout favorite book of the year.

It's called The Monster in Florence by Douglas Preston, who, by the way, worked as an author for the American Museum of Natural History. He taught writing at Princeton University, which I know sounds bougie, but this book is not bougie. This book, anyone can read it.
And honestly, he's the type of author where I'm like, I know that I can't go wrong with any of his books. Now that I've read this one, I'm going to go pick up all of that. And then it was also co-written by Mario Spezi.
I mean, the whole thing is crazy. It's hard to believe that this is a true story. There were so many times where I'm like, is this like a dramatic recreation of a story?
So go check it out.
