Infamous

By: Ace Atkins

Narrated by: Dan John Miller

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Quinn Colson series comes a fast, funny, violent noir novel based on the crimes of George “Machine Gun” Kelly.

In July 1933, a gangster staged the kidnapping-for-ransom of an Oklahoma oilman.

He would live to regret it. What started clean soon turns messy as two of “Machine Gun” Kelly’s partners cut themselves into the action, a determined former Texas Ranger makes tracking Kelly his mission, and his wife, ever alert to her own self-interest, starts playing both sides …

Set in the first days of the modern FBI, Infamous is a passionate blend of historical novel and crime story featuring an unexpected hero, some of the most colorful supporting characters in recent crime fiction, and unforgettable femme fatale Kathryn Kelly—the Lady Macbeth of Depression-era crime.

"Bullets fly, gore puddles and, as the denouement approaches, oh how those pages turn. Atkins, who loves his characters colorful, makes readers love them too, and it doesn’t much matter whether they’re naughty or nice."—Kirkus Reviews

Awesome

This was an entertaining read/listen , Dan John Miller did an awesome job with the performance as always. He is the reason why I preordered the book and I’m not disappointed.

The author is new to me and I plan on changing that,

The performance lacks energy The story doesn't gain any momentum

their dialogue even though well written and clever gets a little tedious after a while
who cares about somebody holding his weiner inside of a popcorn box in a theater?
not me that's for sure!
I realize I just need the cliff notes version for the story
maybe would be better if they had provided some machine gun recordings in the audio 😂

Terrible narration

I did not like ANYTHING about this book. Wasted a credit on this drivel. Really wish I had the option to return it even if only for a partial credit.
