I'd like to say that I brought this on it's merits. However, I stumbled over it quite by chance. That chance turned into a love affair. Jazz, the Mob and 40's New York. There's nothing not to like.
The pages turned very, very easily, slipping into the story, well lets just say I sort of fell. The character's developed with the plot. The original basis of it, got lost in the surroundings with such powerful people and the unforgiving back drop. Like the city itself, it left you in awe.
I could not recommend this book enough. It draws you in and keeps you there, often against your own will.
Status: Completed.
