[Eleanor Donovan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as exciting as some of the other books in the killing series, but nevertheless very interesting. It was very stressful to learn that presidents or somehow involved with the mob other than the brave Bobby Kennedy, who tried to eliminate it.
I believe that J Edgar Hoover had his own “ mob”.
He was not a very nice man, and I am not referring to the fact that he may have been a homosexual.
Keep up the good work O’Reilly.
Next on my list is “killing crazy horse”
