I received this book as a Goodreads first-reads winner. I didn't realize when I began reading this book that it was based on a true story but I would have enjoyed it either way. The story takes place in the 1930s and the author does a great job of taking you back to another time when the majority of readers probably weren't even born yet. It's got all the elements of another era - mobsters, showgirls, speakeasies and corrupt cops and politicans. This is a book that I would definitely recommend to a friend!
