Vivian Gordon went out before midnight in a velvet dress and mink coat. Her body turned up the next morning in a desolate Bronx park, a dirty clothesline wrapped around her neck. At her stylish Manhattan apartment, detectives discovered notebooks full of names—businessmen, socialites, gangsters. And something else—a letter from an anti-corruption commission established by Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Led by the imperious Judge Samuel Seabury, the commission had uncovered a police conspiracy to frame women as prostitutes. Had Vivian Gordon been executed to bury her secrets? As FDR pressed the police to solve her murder, Judge Seabury pursued the trail of corruption to the top of Gotham’s powerful political machine—the infamous Tammany Hall.

Sounds like she’s reading out of a history book. I love reading about this Era, but I found the narration tedious.

The narration was soooo boring

Unfortunately, the female narrator spent a lot of time shouting and overdramatizing lines spoken by male characters, which predominate the book. That seemed to be her way of trying to convey their heavy handedness or power and control over the lives and misfortunes of the female characters. Instead it was simply grating and distracting. I would have enjoyed the book far more without the cheesy narration.

Annoying narration of a good story

History of corruption in NYC interesting. Packed with facts, name dropping and basically TMI. Not fiction, but interesting to see how corrupt the country was in the making. Greed. Disgusting New York politics. Boring and tedious naration. Audible has become so cheap! Previews too short. Catalog has very little. I can barely find a book that I enjoy. Narrators annoying

Monotonous naration. Just read text.

The history was illuminating but the link to the murder of Vivian Gordon was attenuated. The image of Samuel S Leibowitz in this book is an interesting contrast to his image provided by Quentin Reynolds in Courtroom.

I really enjoyed hearing about New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. Michael Wolraich brings that period to life as he interweaves the murder of Vivian Gordon and the corruption of Tammany Hall. I was shocked, surprised, and thoroughly entertained by this book. Definitely worth the listen!

Excellent read!

Wolraich's writing is vibrant and engaging. Hard to put down. Potter's narration brings all the voices to life!

Gripping Tale of Crime and Corruption in 1930s NYC

Too many stories, too many characters, too much superfluous detail and not much of a conclusion. Little to interest anyone who’s not familiar with the history of New York. On the bright side, it could make an interesting Netflix series.

Man, this book needed editing
