I'd like to first point out that the cover for this book is so understated, and doesn't even begin to hint at the story inside. And what about the story?It's a fun plot with some of the most snappy and hilarious dialogue I've read recently. The author takes what could be written as dark and gritty and creates this quirky mob shoot 'em up. The main character, Portia, reminds me a bit of Stephanie Plum and is a worthy heroine. She's independent, spunky, and witty as heck.The minor characters play perfectly with Portia and all have distinct personalities. Being a big fan of the Sopranos(and Italian), I especially loved the Dons. And I'd count the food in this story as a character in itself. Delizioso.Some minor editing glitches didn't detract from the enjoyment. Overall, I really liked this and look forward to reading more of Portia's adventures as the caterer to the mob.
