This was a pretty good book about a great heist with serious mob ties. One of the things I liked about it was that some of the characters had local ties. There's even a reference to Rockingham Park, here in Salem! And some Lowell references.

Fun! But not really enough meat for a whole book.

I very much appreciated the noir-style writing for the subject matter.

Well-written, I suppose, and informative with regard to Providence/Boston crime, but there's no story to tell. The heist isn't really much of a heist, so no drama or tension there, similarly the aftermath of the heist has no tension or drama. I'd recommend the Wikipedia article instead.
