linda48 's review for:
City on Fire
by Don Winslow
It's not that I didn't like the book, but after all of the amazing reviews on Twitter, I expected more. It was a little hard to get into because of the colloquial language - my English major brain rebelled at phrases like "he don't like to go".
If you liked The Godfather, you will really like this book - the first in a trilogy according to the author. A story that follows the Murphy crime family in Rhode Island in their quest to hold their territory against the Moretti family. Danny Ryan, the son-in-law of the head of the clan, John Murphy, is the hero of the story, trying to hold the family together, increase his stature, and make a living to support his own nuclear family. His mother, who deserted the family early in Danny's life, comes back to try to reconnect and uses her considerable connections to try to ease Danny's life.
Trigger warning: There is a lot (and I mean a lot) of graphic violence.
