I loved it! Totally off the show, mobsters and 'little' people's lives are irresistable to me. Read it in one sitting! ( )

This is an absolutely charming novel - mostly taking place over New Year's Eve in New York.
Jimmy is ready to propose to Wendy in the restaurant on top of the Rockefeller Center, but they argue and he storms out. He gets drunk in a sleazy bar, and somehow takes a tart home to his loft. When she draws a knife, he pushes her and she hits her head on a lamp - dead just like that. What can he do? He calls Gus ...
This novel all about family - blood is thicker than water as they say. Despite the setup with shades of 'The Sopranos', it is witty and charming, and Jimmy grows up overnight to accept what he ran away from twenty years previously. Loved it. ( )
