Review of Shooting Bogies
"When Rocky Delmonico, a big-money golf hustler, attends the funeral of a neighborhood mafioso, he inadvertently disrespects an old-world tradition of the grieving mob family. His life quickly goes awry when he’s told he must make amends."
This is the plot of "Shooting Bogies" by Ralph Monti, a great crime thriller that takes readers on a wild ride through the dark side of society. The author crafted a complex plot with deep characters, creating an incredible story that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. At the beginning of my reading, I wasn't expecting a book so interesting, but I had to change my mind! I liked it a lot, and I read it in very little time.
What I enjoyed most about this novel was how well the characters were developed. From the sly gangsters to the merciless investment bankers, each character had a distinct and well-defined personality that created the perfect atmosphere for the story. The main character, Rocky Delmonico, was interesting because of his imperfect yet relatable nature. He was easy to empathize with and his story, even in dangerous situations.
Another aspect I liked a lot was the author's ability to blend elements of suspense, action, and dark humor. He had some cool stories to tell, and each one was better than the last. He mixed them up to make a story that's super exciting and you never know what's coming next. From Delmonico's initial faux pas at the funeral to his desperate attempts to navigate the dangerous world he finds himself in, every twist and turn will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Furthermore, when a book is well edited, it must be acknowledged, and this is precisely the case. I didn't find a single error, demonstrating the author's excellent skills.
I rate "Shooting Bogies" 5 out of 5 stars, and the reasons are above. I enjoyed every aspect of this book and found nothing negative about it. Monti's writing is so good! It's super interesting and I couldn't stop reading it from the start. Whether you're a fan of crime thrillers or simply enjoy a well-told story, this book will satisfy you, and fans of authors like Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen will especially appreciate it.
