About this listen

The Tangled Web tells the dramatic story of detective Richard Cain's criminal career as revealed by his half-brother, Michael. Cain led a double-life—one as a well-known cop who led raids that landed on the front pages, and the other as a "made man" in one of Chicago's most notorious mob families. Eventually executed by shotgun, Dick Cain lived and died in a world of bloodshed and violence, leaving behind a story so outlandish that he has even been suspected of being involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Narrator hurt the story

I found it difficult to stay focused when listening to this book. Overall, I felt the story was good; however, I believe if there was a more animated narrator with more varied intonation it would have made all the difference.

Narrator is horrible

The story itself is ok, though there's a lot of historical errors and inaccuracies which you will notice if you're a fan of the mafia genre. The topic is interesting most of the time but the narrator is absolutely brutal and I would suggest only getting this title if its free.
