Unadorned said: De Marco Empire is the debut novel by J. Lou McCartney. This novel takes the reader deep into the world of the Italian mafia with all its murder, mystery and passion. Showcasing the lives of several key characters you're instantly sucked into a riveting tale; layer upon layer this tale builds to an exciting crescendo.
Whoa! What a ride! This is what ran through my head as I read the final page. From the first page to the last De Marco Empire is sure to captivate your attention. The characters were entertaining and in some cases jaw dropping but never dull. Every page brought new drama to a turbo-charged plot. But what impressed me the most about this book was the layers within the plot. Each character is connected in surprising ways, some connections dating back decades. And McCartney weaves these connections and individual storylines together beautifully.
Again, this is a debut novel so it doesn't have that ultra polished, veteran author perfection. And as a warning to younger or sensitive readers it does have language and explicit sexual language. But I can honestly say its one of the best debut novels I've ever read. If you're looking for an adventure you won't be disappointed with De Marco Empire.
