Mafiopoli among Book Riot’s Best Nonfiction Audiobooks
Book Riot recommends ‘Mafiopoli’ as an audiobook that “Would be a True Crime to Miss” and writes: ‘It’s easy to think you’re listening to a thriller or TV drama but this is real life…an unstoppable force with an unstoppable audiobook.’
Mafiopoli is Strong Words Magazine’s book of the week
The beautiful British book magazine Strong Words not only made Mafiopoli “book of the week” and called it “an exceptional investigation into the global muscle of the Calabrian mafia”, but also dedicated a very nice, three-page article to it.
