Looking For a Good Book

I am a sucker for historical fiction set during the jazz age, so when I saw this book available on Amazon (most likely on sale), I snatched it up.

Speakeasy, by A.M. Dunnewin is a quick-read novella.  Eddie Durante is the owner of a speakeasy that was supported by mob money (Eddie’s uncle).  Eddie’s wife has recently been killed in a territory dispute among rival mob bosses.  Eddie learns that the Caprice Family has put out a contract on him, but before he can make a plan of action, some of his relatives begin turning up dead.

This book is fast-paced and full of action.  Set to a backdrop of jazz music and flappers, there’s a lot of fun in this quick, easy read.  This is the perfect book for someone, like me, who wants something set during this era, but doesn’t require a lot of thinking or ‘figuring it out.’  While it’s not something that I’ll spend a lot of time thinking about, I had fun here and I would certainly be glad to read the next book in the series, or try one of Dunnewin’s other books.

Looking for a good book?  Speakeasy by A. M. Dunnewin is a quick, spirited read.
