A fun and fast-paced novella written by bestselling authors Fiona Davis and Greg Wands; perfect for fans of the roaring twenties and mafia thrillers. New York City in the early thirties is a hotbed of gangsters, crooked cops, and thirsty citizens. Jo Hayes is an independent young woman bucking societal norms by being an auto mechanic. After a series of impulsive actions she finds herself as a getaway drivers for a bunch of rum runners. When she gets into a serious accident, Jo heads for the big city determined to salvage things and work her way up in the business. There she meets Lydia Gardiner the notorious queenpin of a sweeping criminal empire, who decides to take Jo under her wing as her protege. What they don't account for is a nosy detective with a score to settle. Narrated by a trio of voice actors whose cadence and accents give the characters grit and charisma. Clocking in at less than three hours, this audiobook was definitely short on time and hurried on plot. That being said, it was still an enjoyable listen that fans of Boardwalk Empire and other prohibition era literature will enjoy.
