A Death in Belmont by Sebastian Junger. Written like a good mystery thriller, read about the murder of Bessie Goldberg and the case against Roy Smith, a black man hired to clean her home in 1963.

Big Russ and Me: Father and Son, Lessons of Life by Tim Russert. The younger Russert's memoir begins as a tribute to his dad and the lessons he taught through the years, but also takes ample time to tell how Russert junior grew up and became the moderator of Meet the Press.
