Thanks to NetGalley and Brilliance Audio for the Audio ARC!

If you look at this book's subtitle (How I Opened the Hottest Strip Club in New York City, Was Extorted out of Millions by the Gambino Family, and Became One of the Most Successful Mafia Informants in FBI History), you get the general tone of the whole book. Big, boisterous, funny, and unapologetic are all words that apply. The author does an excellent job of narrating this wild true story.

An interesting true life account from one of the owners of the infamous NY Club Scores. An openly gay man in a world that never seemed to phase him.
The Mob infiltrated club faltered then took off. Money wowed followed before success was achieved. This book is full of juicy details, celebrity sprinkles and a whole lot of legal troubles.
I wasn’t sure he was going to make it out alive. Read by the author so you knew he survived to tell the story.
Intriguing, juicy and full of adventure this book “Scores” 5 stars.

What a crazy story! I’ve heard about Scores being mentioned in movies and tv shows but was too young when it was at its peak. I loved the writer and his narration. This book really has it all - dirt on big name celebrities, murder, mafia ties, undercover operations, etc. I was captivated by this story!

Thank you to #netgalley and #Michaelblutrich for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Fascinating and often funny this was a real incite into the experience of an informant of the FBI on the Mob.
We are taken through the 'founding' of Scores and how Michael got himself into a position of being an informant.
Sometimes the antidotes are a little long winded or self indulgent but we soon get into the second half of the book where we get into the details of how the process worked and what he found out.
There was a long dream sequence that I did not enjoy but all in all really interesting and a worth while read.
I listened to the audiobook of this so having Michael narrate his story really added to the experience.

What an outstanding book! This is the firsthand recounting of one of the most famous mob takedown in US history. Told first person by Michael Blutrich, an attorney and entrepreneur. Sometimes funny, often terrifying, Blutrich weaves an amazing story. Some of the things he endured to get evidence for the FBI is crazy. This reads like a fiction story. How he was treated by the authorities sounds typical, empty promises.
