Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

A wildly funny, irreverent tale of murder, mayhem, and the mob.

When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's restaurant in Manhattan's Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. And when the mob decides to use the kitchen for a murder, nothing Tommy learned in cooking school has prepared him for what happens next. With the FBI on one side and his eccentric wise guy superiors on the other, Tommy has to struggle to do right by his conscience and avoid getting killed in the meantime...

Stuffed with charming characters and peppered with Bourdain's wry humor, Bone in the Throat is one satisfying feast of a novel.

OK, so Tony can write a mystery. Could, I mean...still get emotion thinking about the fact he is not with us anymore.

this was a great book. I listened to it on audible and the narrator really did al the accents and different voices SO well. In fact, he was so good that when he would read a part that was narration only and not character driver, I was shocked at what his voice sounded like. The story begins with the "murder". That is not unusual, but the way Tony handled it set the build up throughout the story. Right up front, you have an FBI agent punch an ASA. As the story builds you start to figure somethings out and that sets up a lot of moments where you start to fear for the lives of different people. There were a few times I started bargaining for the lives of my two favorite people.

I would have liked a few more pages at the end, but that is because I love a nice bow tied.

If you are like me and has no idea Tony wrote fiction, you REALLY should read or listen to this one. ( )

Regular readers of this page might remember a few weeks ago, I reviewed Tony Bourdain's non-fiction book about working in restaurants. I started then looking for his two mysteries and finally found them when they were recently re-issued. This one is great. Tommy Pagana grew up on the fringe of the mob. He's an up and coming chef who's not interested in entering the family business. But, it's an uphill battle. The real gem in this book are the characters and the way the author makes them rise up off the page. This guy knows how to write. ( )

Chose to read this as a tribute to the late, great Anthony Bourdain, as I had never read any of his fiction. I had only read his non-fiction works about cooking and eating

Wonderful culinary romp through the mob-controlled restaurants of Manhattan. More blood and gore than I usually enjoy, but pertinent to the story. Hilarious in places, and infuriating in places. Loved reading the book. It would make a great film.
What a loss that he is no longer with us. RIP Anthony Bordain. ( )

Muito se tem falado do Anthony Bourdain nos últimos tempos, principalmente com a sua recente vinda ao nosso país. Embora não o tenha descoberto agora, não posso dizer que seja um seguidor. Isto é, vejo o "No Reservations" sempre que me lembro e gosto do que vejo. O problema é que nem sempre me lembro. No entanto, apesar de já conhecer o Anthony Bourdain há algum tempo, este livro obriga-me a ficar ao lado daqueles que só agora aprenderam que ele existe. Sou sincero: sabia que ele era um chef de cozinha; não fazia ideia que era um chef da escrita.

"Bone in the throat", ou "Osso na garganta",como se chamará, mais dia menos dia, a edição portuguesa (não é um palpite, é uma esperança de publicação), é um livro com óptimos ingredientes: bons personagens, excelentes diálogos, bastante acção, humor, morte, culinária e máfia.

A história gira em torno de Tommy Pagano, um cozinheiro, cujo tio Sally pertence à Máfia. Tommy não quer ter nada a ver com esses negócios, mas quando aceita fazer-lhe um favor, vê-se no meio duma investigação da polícia e do FBI ao seu tio Sally e restantes amigos mafiosos.

Julgo, no entanto, que a melhor frase que define este livro (e que foi a frase que me chamou primeiro à atenção; ainda antes de ler o enredo), publicada pela revista MAXIM, é "Goodfellas meets Masterchef". E é isto. Pensem no Goodfellas, aquele bom filme com o Joe Pesci, o Roberto DeNiro, o Ray Liotta e tantos outros, juntem-no com o Masterchef e ficam com 350 páginas muito, muito divertidas.

Dica para quem quiser adquirir um exemplar deste livro. Além das habituais lojas online, pode ir à Bertrand do Chiado. Está lá 5,50€. Perdoem-me a alusão gratuita a essa livraria (não sou funcionário, nem accionista, apenas cliente esporádico), mas é por uma boa causa. ( )
