I love true crime so I was definitely excited to start Inside the Montreal Mafia! This book provides an inside look at the Rizzuto family which I hadn’t heard of before this. The author covers the main players and the history of the mafia in Montreal in-depth, while also detailing the confessions of Andrew Scoppa. This one was a bit slow but very informative. If you’re looking for a true crime history book, this is definitely the one for you! Thank you ECW Press for my gifted copy!

Whilst this was an interesting enough listen, it’s more of a history book than a true crime book in the writing style. There isn’t the suspense and drama you normally get with the latter.
If you are into history and the subject matter, you will undoubtedly enjoy it. It’s clearly very well researched with lots of intriguing facts and anecdotes, but not necessarily what I personally was looking for.
The narrator was perfect for the book, setting the scene well and making it clear and easy to follow.

MY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK:
We have all grown up knowing something about the Mafia. If you knew nothing else you knew about John Gotti. He was the head of the Gambino family and one of the most famous Gangsta’s of all time. Being American you may only hear about that Mafia. The Italian Mafia that ruled the streets of New York .
Then you heard about Sammy “The Bull” Gravano. He was John Gotti’s right hand man. However he went down in history as the biggest rat ever in mob history as an Underboss second in command has never cooperated with the government. But was he the biggest one?
He was until Andrew Scoppa! See there is another side of the Mob we may have never known. A mob that lives in Canada. Italians, Columbians even The Hells Angels was involved!
Inside the Montreal Mafia exposes some of the deepest darkest secrets of the Montreal Mob. Is it true? You bet your life, because the Boss says so. You see Andrew Scoppa was the head, and for the first time EVER the head man tells all.
This book is a masterpiece and chilling! Félix Séguin and Éric Thibault although risking their own lives, have secret meetings over a course of a few years with Andrew Scoppa. There he lays out murders, extortion, who was hit and why as well as all of the secrets the Montreal Mafia wishes you did not know.
This book changed the way that organization was ran and is ran today. And yes we also find out that the Mafia is connected no matter where in the world they are! These confessions of a Mob Boss will make you feel like he wanted to get his story out before time ran out. Because even Andrew Scoppa knew that the life he lived would one day catch up with him!!
