Chances (1981)

This book was absolutely phenomenal - the best portrayal of a crime family immersed in drugs and the glittery casino life I've read yet. ( )

Fun book, with a lot of intrigue, and things that seem impossible in a 'normal' world still happen. ( )

Trashy late 70s, early 80s fun ( )

What an excellent start to a series. Collins seamlessly links the lives of many individuals and produces a great, trashy story.

The first of the Lucky Santanglo books. Vulgar, and gritty but Collins is known for that. I'm reading the series with my book club, can't wait for more. ( )
