Springs Toledo liked Ben Smith's review of Don't Talk About Joe Mac: The Life, Wars, and Secret History of the Man Behind the Winter Hill Gang: "Springs Toledo is an exceptional writer. All of his books are worth a read. "Don't Talk About Joe Mac" transports you to the Boston underworld and introduces you to a cast of characters that are in some ways stranger than fiction.

This book is among my favorites in the genre. I collect ghost stories and must stay that this one has gems that I would match up to anything M.R. James and E.F. Benson ever did.
