If you’re looking for a good true crime book, this one is for you! A thrilling expose recounting how members of Opus Dei – a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect – pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of the world’s largest banks. The author goes into a lot of detail of his investigation on this case. Literally had my jaw on the floor. It did feel a little biased, but it could be because it was from the journalist’s perspective.
