Critics Review

Reviews for COSA NOSTRA: - .

Dogged…a brave work. This is the first history of the Sicilian Mafia to be written by a non-Italian. It gives John Dickie a necessary detachment, frosty and undeceived. - Mail on Sunday

I couldn’t put it down. His archival sleuthing is yoked to his powerful , often coruscating story-telling to create a sinister, horrific reality. - John Guy, The Sunday Times

Monumental and gripping - Andrew Marr, BBC Start the Week

Combines scholarship with a rip-roaring read - Sunday Herald

‘Readable history’. - TLS

REVIEWS FOR BLOOD BROTHERHOODS (THE HARDBACK EDITION): - .

His narrative bowls along, powered by the sort of muscular prose one associates with great detective fiction. An exhilarating history. - Financial Times
