Bad Luck

A Gibbons and Tozzi Thriller #3

by Anthony Bruno

Bad Luck, the third book in the Gibbons and Tozzi thriller series, takes FBI agents Mike Tozzi and Cuthbert Gibbons to Atlantic City to investigate shady dealings between the mob and a celebrity real-estate mogul. Add an oversexed trophy wife, a Mafia boss who pretends to be a mental patient, his sister (the nun), a championship prizefight, and Gibbons’ reluctant wedding preparations, and Bad Luck serves up a hilarious killer cocktail.

Reacher is my go to when i want to read but not feel. This book accomplished what i hoped for to that end but was probably one of my least favorite LC books ever (I’ve probably read 15). Too many people and moving parts. Wouldn’t recommend.

2014?

Interesting, lots of action at a frantic pace.

[Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gritty, funny crime novel...... Elmore Leonard territory.

[Hari Brandl · Rating 2 out of 5]

AGAIN! Didn't begin to live up to the cover blurbs. Not "engrossing", did not "seethe with tension", etc. Could be me, but I found no suspense and scant humor. The premises: a fixed fight, undercover FBI with one of them involved with the antagonist's girl... Ho hum... Certainly not even on the same ladder with Puzo. And poorly-drawn female characters. And the author needs to use all his words instead of only the "f" word. In general, fairly lame.

[Sandi · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well written crime thriller featuring two FBI agents, the mob, and an Atlantic City developer who is trying to promote a heavyweight title fight. The plotting was very tight with just the right amount of violence and humor.

[J.W. Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read, a little obvious in the plot but a fair way to pass the time. did a good job building the characters.
