Reviewing AES O'Neill, Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder

For this episode, we chatted about Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder, a novel by A E S O'Neill. It took some time to warm up to this one, but it was worth the effort for one of us at least. A good cast of murkier than most characters, but it is mob related, so they weren't going to be sweethearts.
