R. Ann Siracusa managed to keep me smiling throughout "All For A Dead Man's Leg," and had me from the beginning with this line: "Mez Harri Boobies." I just couldn't love Harriet and Will more because no matter the danger they were in, both managed to do some major banter and flirting.

This is a genuine gem. It kept me in awe with each new chapter. From the middle to the end there's plenty of action packed scenes. Harriet is determined to save a friend of Will's whether he helps her or not. Here's to Harriet and Will for rescuing the good and catching the bad guys. I definitely enjoyed the talks between Will and Harriet. Cute nickname Will has for Harriet.

"All For A Dead Man's Leg" is an amazing romantic comedy with well written action scenes mixed in, well written characters and storyline that is well thought out. It's hard to find great humor novel. Ms. Siracusa sure knew how to work this into an A+ charming tale. I definitely recommend this top choice of the week! I don't know how much more I can say, but that I love "All For A Dead Man's Leg" and give it a rating of 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mafia story from the viewpoint of a woman....

Family Secrets is written by a woman named Siracusa. Some years ago, I went to a town in Sicily that was named Siracusa. Could there be a connection? Judging by the stunning veracity of the story - a mafiosa saga that can stand comparison to The Godfather by Mario Puzo (who never got the acclaim for his novel that he deserved.) With the current larder bare when it comes to finding thrilling new mafia stories, I'm amazed that this one hasn't been picked up for either a film or a mini-series. I have no doubt that it would - yet again - confound the critics, and re-invigorate the genre.
