Story5 out of 5 stars 11
A madman is on the loose in Texas. Two homicide detectives in Fort Worth are on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer who enjoys toying with his prey. For You Have Sinned is an exploration of good and evil, cause and effect, and crime and punishment--in this life and the next. It's a popular thought that those who commit bad deeds now will suffer endlessly for them later. But to one jaded soul, the next life is not punishment enough.

This audiobook sucked me in with the first line. The story was great, though a bit gruesome at times. The character development was perfect. I actually felt sorry for some of the worst characters because I learned what events created them. The narrator (also the writer) brought the story to life through accents and different voices. It’s really nice to listen to a true voice actor rather than the monotone narrators I sometimes get. I highly recommend “For You Have Sinned” and I will probably listen to this one a few more times to catch all the things I might have missed.

Even when murderous gangsters are shoving his head into a toilet, Mickey Fine can’t stop making jokes. He wants a career in comedy so badly that he takes a job as a Tummler, a comedian and host for a hotel in the Catskills, a hotel where he knows the very gangsters who abused him are staying. An already dangerous situation escalates when Mickey falls for Mutzie, the “number one girl” of Pep who is arguably the most violent thug in the hotel. Betrayals and politics within the mob play out behind the scenes while Mutzie joins Mickey on stage.

I didn't know much about Murder Incorporated in New York in the 1920's and 30's, but "Funny Boys" really shed some light on the subject for me. During prohibition and after, there was a small band of ruthless thugs maintaining order on the streets of New York with iron fists and ice picks! The "Combination", named that because it was the joined forces of the Jewish and Italian mobsters, had the politicians and law enforcers eating out of the palm of their hands in the 1930's. "Funny Boys" is historical fiction and a dark, yet funny, love story. Some of the scenes get a bit savage but Mickey Fine, a young Jewish comedian in the Catskills, tries to keep the mob bosses and their wives entertained, while trying to keep his love for Mutzie, a beautiful Jean Harlow look alike, hidden from the "bad guys".
The narration was excellent! I felt like I was listening to a radio show in the 1940's. The Story played like a black and white movie in my head and I could see all the players clearly in my mind. Clifford Edwards did a great job of bringing every character to life. Each one was different but not in a distracting way. The voices fit the character.
In conclusion, really good story, easy on the ears, worthwhile investment. Five Stars!!
