Book review: Al Capone and His American Boys

"Readers will find Winkeler’s story compelling if a bit self-aggrandizing. Her writing style is easy to read, and her slight snootiness and melodrama over the stress of being a mobster’s wife amuses. ... For true crime and gangster story fans." —Library Journal
