Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 52
The Black Mafia is one of the bloodiest crime syndicates in modern US history. From its roots in Philadelphia's ghettos in the 1960s, it grew from a rabble of street toughs to a disciplined, ruthless organization based on fear and intimidation. Known in its "legitimate" guise as Black Brothers Inc, it held regular meetings, appointed investigators, treasurers and enforcers, and controlled drug dealing, loan-sharking, numbers rackets, armed robbery, and extortion.

Not what I was expecting
Revisado: 04-21-20
Not what I was expecting...and not in a good way. The narration was very dry. I don't feel like I knew any of the people involved in any way; and in fact, had trouble remembering who was who except for maybe 2 characters. Even then I had to remind myself who they were and how they fit into the story. I don't know if it was the narration or the actual writing syle, or both. I'm sorry I wasted a credit on this one.

Terrible Narration
Revisado: 05-21-17
What would have made Freed to Kill better?
A slower paced more conversational narration such as Kevin Pierce, this was so fast, I often had to go back and listen to remember people's names, go back and determine it was a transcript question answer in the middle of a chapter interrupting the flow
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I'm not sure, I didn't finish it. I bought the print version so I'll be able to read it on my own.
What didn’t you like about Joseph B. Kearns’s performance?
