She said, by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey

 

This is a fascinating account of the investigation that led to Harvey Weinstein's outing as a sexual predator. Mike gave me this book for Christmas (he saw it on a bookshelf behind a reporter who was being interviewed on TV and thought I'd find it interesting). What I like about the book is how it tells the story behind the story. It's not just about the facts of the case, but it shows how the reporters tracked down clues and put the pieces together. If you're at all interested in investigative journalism, this is a great example of how it's done. In addition to covering the Weinstein case, it also includes a chapter about the Christine Blasey Ford allegations, and how she ultimately chose to reveal her story and testify before Congress.
