Confident Women by Tori Telfer

I'm new to actually enjoying nonfiction, but author Tori Telfer made it easy in Confident Women. I often get a crime bug in me, and I was looking for something longer and more substantial than an internet article, but I didn't want to feel like I was doing required reading on a subject that truly interests me. Tori Telfer's writing style is engaging and conversational, witty and light even when the subject matter is decidedly not. She uses unpretentious language which is important for me when I'm in the mood to learn recreationally; I don't want to feel like I need to keep looking things up to be able to follow along. This book details the lives and downfalls of several con women throughout history, with each chapter devoted to a new person, making it easily digestible and always making me want to do one more chapter when I was previously so sure I'd need to fold my laundry after this one.
