A compelling story

The New Yorker has a feature on a political who-dun-it murder in Ecuador Guatemala. It’s a very long article, around 14,000 words, but absolutely captivating.

The way the author has told the story is masterful – he details all the major players, what happened, and slowly takes you to the conclusion – which is a huge surprise.

First class writing like this is all too rare. If you have half an hour to spare, read away.
