This was a little tense reading what with all the cultural and legitimate intrigue that went into this man's life and career while covering this crime element. Solid true crime book
I think this is the best book I read out of Bill O'Reilly's Killing Series. It was so interesting to me. It not only looked at the mafia but also JFK, Robert Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, J. Edgar Hoover and many more famous people. I love a nonfiction book that I learn things from and this one did not disappoint in that area. I listened to the Audiobook through the Libby App.

Wow. Wow. Wow!! I saw this book at Goodwill and waivered over buying it (for a whopping $2.99 lol). It sounded interesting, but I have a pile of books on my TBR stack to get through. Well, my Aunt saw through that lame excuse and bought it for me, and I‘m so glad she did! I loved this story of the Rabishevsky brothers - this was a total page turner that I didn‘t want to put down. What other Andrew Gross books should I read? I‘m hooked now!
I. Can‘t. Even.
POV: nonfiction author losing credibility by the fourth paragraph after stating he was a comic book fan since the 60s, yet didn‘t know that the comic book Steve Rogers grew up in the Irish neighborhoods of the Lower East Side. The author was obviously not a Capt America fan until 2011 when the movies inexplicably moved Steve Rogers to Brooklyn. 🤷♂️
96/150 Overall, I enjoyed this true story of crime, corruption, greed and murder, but at times it was confusing because many of the names sounded similar, and the tangled web of connections to various Mafia crime families.
The ending was unsatisfying, no one really seemed to be punished for the crime or the various murders connected with the case. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

You are literally dropped right into the action at the beginning of this and it left me feeling like I accidentally moved ahead in the audio. I looked but I hadn‘t done that…so I just had to go with it…which I did and eventually the story, both from the present and in the past, unfolds amongst the action. The action never really lets up…not until the very end. The setting was fantastic. The narration by Eliza Foss was sufficient.
