This book right here. This is it. This is what a thriller novel should be all about. I loved this book from start to finish. Mr. Di Giacomo has taken a wonderful plot line and mixed it with amazingly captivating characters and threw his readers an intense, witty debut thriller.
The characters within the pages of this book are light hearted. They are intense. Each one has their own story to tell, yet they all are centered around the one small town in New York: Hutchville. Being a police officer is not an easy feat, I'm sure, but Mr. Di Giacomo captured the heart of being a cop on a small town's police force. When that officer is shot and out of work during recuperation, a lot is told. A lot is brought to light about a life of a cop.
Mixed into that life of a cop, is some amazing twists and turns with Italian mafia and Dons and hit men. The twists pile up, bringing with them, edge-of-your-seat anticipation of what will happen next. When a beautiful FBI agent enters the picture, it adds a bit of the spark-flying passion, making this story even better.
Mr. Di Giacomo is a wonderfully talented new author, and has quickly made a home on my favorite authors list. His style is engaging and realistic, and pulls the reader in full force, to the heart of the story. I am glad I reviewed this book, and am looking forward, with antsy anticipation, for another amazingly written novel by this new author! Well done, Mr. Di Giacomo!
