Book Reviews of Saint Mudd: A Novel of Gangsters and Saints
Book Review: Lots of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up in St. Paul, I always heard the stories and whispers: St. Paul was rich in gangster history in the '20's and '30's. My parents next door neighbor delivered illegal liquor to the gangster bars etc. etc. for instance. But I won't bore you with the stories.
It's too bad this book hasn't raised more interest than it has. I've read this book several times and have recommended it to all my friends and relatives. All have read it and loved it.
And you don't have to be a St. Paul native to appreciate it. This book has it all. Wonderful story telling with a wide variety of real and fictional characters, who you get to know. It's very historical and you learn a few things about US history, not just Minnesota in general. Well known gangsters hung out here, and important arrests took place in the area. I've read plenty of mystery novels and I have never been a big fan of gangster stories, but this was one of the best books I ever read.
If you are from the area, after reading this book you won't be able to see the Cathedral, drive down Warner/Shepard Road, drive by the entrance of Swede Hollow on Payne Ave or see the bluffs of Mounds Park without thinking of this wonderful story. I promise you that.
It has it all. Sex, crime, compassion, good guys, bad guys,excellent story telling, and Grover Mudd, who is one of the most fascinating characters there is in any book out there. It's a fun, fast paced book.
