A gritty story about two warring mob families in Rhode Island. There are a lot of characters to keep straight, but the whole thing is interesting and I’m looking forward to book 2.
Mad amount of character arcs that keep you turning them pages. Never thought I would be rooting for a character who is a criminal
Definitely not my normal genre but liked the style enough and engaged with the characters enough to finish the novel.

The best I can say about this book is that it was a quick read. Otherwise, aside from being the only novel I’ve read that is set in Rhode Island, I didn’t get much from it. It needed more depth, more detail.
I’m not reading this author for deep literary merit, but I do have expectations. The cartel trilogy covered the Mexican drug trade from so many angles, from the narcos and various law enforcement agencies to the journalists and victims. The plots were intricate and interesting. This is my last attempt to find books by this author that rise to that level.

Very bean-town. If you liked The Town, you’ll like this one.
