While out checking their lobster traps, two Landry cousins and skipper Dwayne Samson saw Boudreau in his boat, the Midnight Slider, about to vandalize their lobster traps. Like so many times before, the small-time criminal was about to cost them thousands of dollars out of their seasonal livelihood. Boudreau seemed invincible, a miscreant who would plague the village forever. Meanwhile, the police and local officials were frustrated, cowed, and hobbled by shrinking budgets. One of the men took out a rifle and fired four shots at Boudreau and his boat.

Best of the genre
Revisado: 02-07-23
True crime often wallows in the sensational detail of gruesome acts of despicable characters. This book lifts the genre to philosophical & emotional heights. SDC gives us a Dostoevskian treatment that illustrates the complicated human questions that should drive the foundational ideals of any justice system. As a resident of the area, he spins the web of familial and civic connections that shape every community, large and small.

Balanced, nuanced, and insightful.
Revisado: 09-18-20
I quite liked the book, and appreciated that it was read by the author.
The events covered were often public, but SWW provides a glimpse into the details surrounding all the headlines.
I’m no Trump fan, but at the same time I don’t want to read an unbalanced portrayal of the White House by someone who wants to rant and attack the president. So many of those have been written. This book is not that.

Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters; their world-famous brothel, the Everleigh Club; and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots culminates in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers. Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to 20th-century modernity.

Great book - brilliant narrator!
Revisado: 04-17-10
Ms. Abbott's history of this little niche in Chicago's history and an important step in the take over of the politics by the religious right makes this book interesting beyond just the salacious subject matter. She handles the story with the class and wit that would make the Everyleigh sisters proud.
The other delight of this book is it's narrator Joyce Bean. I'll simply say: I want her to narrate everything I listen to!
