Customer Reviews

This book is great fun ...

... for mystery fans, tough guy fiction fans, mafia wannabes (you lookin' at me?) and anyone who enjoys a well-written novel with unique, quirky characters. The only other author who comes to mind is Elmore Leonard.Give this book a try - I can't wait for his next effort.

A book that is just plain fun.

I was not sure about this book but the title caught my eye.After the first three pages I was hooked.The characters are so well written,I thought they were in the room with me.When the Don's will was viewed,I laughed till my side hurt. If you are looking for one of the great works of fiction you will have to look elsewhere. But if you want a book that is light,funny and just plain fun this is the one for you!I read it in a day.
