This sounds like a book for fans of mafia suspense stories that moves quickly. Great review!

The review was very insightful. However, I am sure that the author did his homework. The reviewer may think that the action was too fast but it may be that the author was trying to be as realistic as possible. And really, if one wants to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies he and his subordinates would have to keep very busy.

There were many Mafia novels written since the days of Mario Puzo's Godfather trilogy. However, very few novels became at least somewhat close to those. This is because of the high standard that sets by those novels and the readers always looked to compare any new one with those written by Mario Puzo. Having said that, this novels seems to be a really good one. Thanks for the detailed review! :tiphat:

Speaking of loyalty by mobsters, I can relate to the present world. Italian crime mafia seems horrific but worth a read. The author did a wonderful job by including a summary of the previous book at the beginning of this one. Great review.

Crime novels aren't for me, especially with vulgar language. Great review, and congrats on BOTD!

That's a great review, it has summarised the whole book and gives an overview of what the novel is about. Though have not read the first novel, with this review will still be able to understand the story.

Official Review: By Hook or BY Crook by AL Marsiglia is a worthy description of the story of the book! The readers would love to read the story after reading the review! I like the point in the review that it is a great book to pick up for people new to this type of story, to introduce them to the crime thriller genre!

A taste of action, suspense, and humor sounds exciting. Frankie's story seems to be mind-blowing, which is why I want to read the book and enjoy the story. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

An Italian mafia novel would certainly be on my reading list. I'm looking forward to seeing Frankie Fiore's happenings and I'm glad the author provided an introduction from the first book of series. Thank you for the intriguing recommendation!

It is a good novel. The stories of criminal gangs run as businesses and yet play a role a family would baffles me. Good story and a nice review. Thumbs up.
