City in Ruins

 
Author: Don Winslow
Narrator: Ari Fliakos
Publisher: HarperAudio
Year: 2024

Did you ever dive into a book without realizing it’s part of a series? 


I did just that with Don Winslow’s City in Ruins. It’s the third book of a trilogy. 🀦‍♀️ But it was actually ok. There was enough backstory about the main character and the situation, so I didn’t feel lost. 


Dan Ryan, a former mob guy, is now a legit businessman in Las Vegas. Books 1 and 2 in the series must deal with the earlier phases of his life. This book is about his Vegas ambitions to open the best casino and hotel resort in town and how he makes enemies in doing so. This was a good story and I liked it. I’ve read some of Winslow’s other books, so I knew what to expect. He’s a good storyteller and narrator Ari Fliakos does an admirable job bringing the characters and story to life. Will I go back and read the other two books? No. I got enough of the story to be satisfied and entertained.
