Guy J Tirondola

Donato De Luca is in a jam. Local Mafia boss Ritchie the Boot has accused him of stealing $10,000 from him, and things aren't going so well at home either. When he hatches a plan to take his family and hide in Beaufort, SC, he has no idea how a simple misunderstanding will change everything forever.

With a cast of colorful characters and a series of misadventures, Guy Tirondola has hit it out of the ballpark with his first novel. I read this through in one evening because I couldn't stop show more reading. He sends up Mafiosos and Southerners in one novel; not an easy feat.

Is it easier or more difficult running away from two things at the same time?

Well.....it depends on what the two things are. Don thought dealing with two problems was easier because the worst one could be put on the back burner for a while.

Don definitely needed to solve and deal with both of these problems, and one was definitely more dangerous than the other. Dealing with the mafia was much more pressing than dealing with a pregnant daughter. To solve both these problems, Don decided to show more move away and start a new life. The life he and his family began anew and the people he met were quite interesting. You will love Beppe and Israel.

This book held my interest from the beginning. The author is remarkable..the book flows smoothly and very interestingly. I wanted to get back to the book as soon as I could. The characters were described perfectly, and the situations were very real...at times you could feel the fear the characters were experiencing.

For a first book, it was well done. You will enjoy the ending and realize that it is family that matters.

ENJOY!! 5/5
