While I'm not interested in mafia crime novels, the book sounds quite a good combination of suspense and action. I would prefer to read the first book before reading this one, though. Thank you for the detailed review

This sounds like an interesting crime thriller and I’m intrigued by the history of the mafia, but for some reason, I’ve never really been that into mafia crime fiction. Still, it could be worth a read, after reading the first novel, of course. Thank you for the helpful review.

After I read the sample of the book, I feel that I don't have an interest in wanting to read a book about the mafia. I did however, think that the review of the book is good.

I appreciate how the author gave a brief backstory at the beginning of the story to give context to the readers. This book seems like a perfect read for people who love mafia stories. It sounds thrilling and also entertaining based on your review. Thanks for your review.

Thank you for the informative review. The vulgar language is off-putting to me. Seeking vengeance makes for great action but may distort my view of a better society.
Search for, and find, real meaning in life and live purposefully.

Definitely sounds like an interesting one. I think this is one my husband would enjoy. Mafia, romance, crime, is definitely one of his favorites. I am curious if he found the son with all the other people trying to get his inheritance. But I don't think I will try this one. Congratulations on BOTD.
