The Unraveling

Although this is a crime saga, there are lots of other elements to it, like touching relationship stories, a family history that is quite informative and educational etc. Also, for a crime thriller, it is not very dark. There are many, many lighthearted moments. The Mafia is not what I imagined it to be. That was a pleasant surprise. Another pleasant surprise was that after the first few chapters, there was no erotic stuff. Not even a lot of profanity, which I appreciated. – Amazon Review
