Sounds like a good one! It does sound like it would make a great movie too! And I love stand alone books so I don't feel obligated to read more if I don't love it. :) Thanks for sharing!
I like the sound of a mystery within a mystery, I would be hooked until I found out who was behind it all.
Mafia you say? My husband is OBSESSED with the mafia. He's love this.
Isn't it fun imagining who would play the characters in the movie version of a book? I also have a thing for the mafia - I'll have to check this out!
I love mafia-type shows on TV, so I would probably enjoy this one. Will have to check out an excerpt online!
My husband says I have to stop reading your blog because my book list is getting to long. LOL I really want to read this one, your review is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I know I would like this one. I like mystery and intrigue. My Hubs is an Italian family so he knows Mafia!!
I'm Italian so I know I would love this one!
This does look like a good book. Definitely the type I read.
Heather took the words out of my mouth! I was thinking if this were a movie, my husband would be all over it!
This is out side of my normal genre but it does sound good. I may have to give it a try.
Sounds like there is a lot going on in this book. I'd be interested to read it for myself.
Ice Cream... Murder. Sounds to me live a very sweet mystery.
PI stories are either really good or really bad. It seems there is no in-between with them. This sounds like a fun little mystery.
It sounds like quite the puzzle to solve. I love when series books can stand on their own like that too.
I love your honest reviews of the books. This is one that I would love to read
This sounds like an interesting read indeed. I love books with a lot of actions is this one sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing.
