Title: This is Great! I don't think his recent books are this good
Review: The Gold Coast is a story of two very different worlds. The ultra rich Long Island WASPS and the Mafia. The Mafia is a subject that has been covered copiously in a variety of media. It is, however, within the lifestyle of the residents of the Gold Coast that DeMille does his thing introducing the mob world and its values through the back door. To this add a narrator undergoing a middle life crisis, nasty in-laws, hateful parents, a crazy-looking-for-revenge IRS agent and a tax lawyer in the city's biggest criminal prosecution and you have a great read . DeMille's protagonists sizzle with sardonic wit. His most recent work is good but not this good. Do yourself a favor and get this one.
