As were Volumes 1 & 2, "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 3- New York City” is filled with delightful vignettes with some of the worst creatures God has ever created.The most decadent article is the piece on The Old Brewery, located in the Five Points section of Lower Manhattan, where murder and debauchery, including incest, were an everyday occurrence. Close behind is Satan’s Circus, a section of New York City in Midtown Manhattan which displayed a brothel every few feet, and a gambling house on every street corner.Disasters are covered here too, in the essays on the Brooklyn Theater Fire of 1876 and the General Slocum Paddleboat Fire of 1904. And if you are a fan of the Mafia, you won’t be disappointed in the bios on Carlo Gambino, Vito Genovese, Paul Castellano, and Carmine Galente, the last two of whom died in a hail of gunfire in public places; their gruesome death photos splattered on the front pages of the New York City daily newspapers.Female reprobates are featured too. Like Sadie the Goat, who made a fine living rolling drunks on the Lower East Side docks, before she made the big-time as a riverboat pirate, plundering and pillaging along the Hudson River all the way to upstate New York. And let’s not forget Evelyn Mittelman, called “The Kiss of Death,” because several of her boyfriends were murdered by her next boyfriend in line.This book is not for the faint of heart. But if you like reading about murderers, crooks, disasters and degenerates, you’ve come to the right place.So flip on your Kindle, press the right buttons, and enjoy.

Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 3 by Joe Bruno is a masterpiece of New York City's history of crimes and criminals, and even disasters. Many of these people were the dregs of society who Bruno dug up from the sewers of NYC and placed in a book.From the indulgent sections on The Old Brewery, the Brooklyn Theater Fire, Paul Castellano, Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese to Evelyn Mittelman aka The Kiss of Death, Bruno lays out spellbinding information that is captivating to the last word.This is the second book I've read by the author and have added him to my favourites. I like his style and the substance of his material. Good as a history book. Highly recommended.- RJ Parker, True Crime Author
This is volume 3 and is definetly the best of all of them. This was as good as any history book on the subject of the Mafia for era in question. The way each person or event was covered left you knowing exactly what happened and being from New York I knew the places. Hope another one comes out as I would be glad to read and review it.
The book reads like a collection of independent short stories. Some of the stories are better than others. I wasn't entirely disappointed by the book. However, I did skip over a couple of the stories that didn't grab me in the first few pages. Other stories within the book were quite interesting.
Joe Bruno has once again amazed and mystified the reading audience with "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps-Volume 3 New York City"!! Personally, I can't wait for Joe to take on other Cities/States, exposing and opening up the amazing characters he so fondly enjoys introducing us to! As in Volumes 1,2, & 3, the reader is destined to find out some previously unpublished or forgotten facts regarding the era, the feel of the city, or characteristics which were popular at said moments. Keeping fingers crossed in hoping that Chicago, Illinois is on his list; "The Windy City", definetly has it's share of characters which I'm sure would make Joe feel right at home! A great read for a great price, thanks for the deal!!
This is a good book which gives you short stories about different people from the genre. It has a good selection and the information is not to short but quite informative. It also has a historic and modern stories - any thing from con artists to mob leaders.
I thought this book was a good read i recommend parts 1&2 also all three books are good and very specific
Joe Bruno has done his homework and done his research so well that when he tells his story its not like reading a history book. You are there with the people who come from all walks of life and wind up on the wrong side of the law. Go a long with Joe in this fascinatating story of some of New Yorks seedier residents who made it to a wanted poster. A great read!
I have read the other books in this series. Learning the Mafia really does exist up to current times. Also if you check out the names on www.findagrave.com you can find where some of them are buried. If you like looking for that sort of research or such. I just enjoy reading about the people and how bad they seem back before 1900. They were the BULLIES of the world
