Louie Morelli’s Mistress
Patricia Bellomo’s Latest Mob Thriller, Louie Morelli’s Mistress, Is Now Available
[dcs_p]Crime Fiction Writer, Patricia Bellomo, announces the release of her latest mob thriller, Louie Morelli’s Mistress.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
If you haven’t read any of Patricia Bellomo’s books in the Louie Morelli series, Louie Morelli’s Mistress is a good one to start with. As Patricia says, “The series is non-sequential, but if you’re new to my novels, I’d recommend starting with Louie Morelli’s Mistress. Chronologically, it takes place before Stella di Mare and Louie Morelli’s Daughter. It also adds a mysterious twist, and it is set in New Orleans, as opposed to South Florida.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
For those familiar with Ms. Bellomo’s novels, Louie Morelli is from New Orleans, the son of a former mob boss that conspiracy theorists credit with the thirty-fifth president’s assassination. Remember, this is fiction in the crime thriller genre or, as in the author’s words, “a sexy mob thriller.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
There’s also a romantic angle: An exotic and beautiful woman, a love affair that feels “fated”, an eccentric little girl, a naïve young Realtor, and, of course, the enigmatic mobster, Louie Morelli. Add the FBI, a corrupt police force, a splash of voodoo, and a desperate young woman seeking revenge, and you are smack dab in the middle of Ms. Bellomo’s latest thriller.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Louie Morelli’s Mistress offers the suspense and intrigue readers have come to expect from Patricia. “A page turner to the very end.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Ms. Bellomo refers to her books as “mob thrillers”, and the novels have a definite appeal to fans of The Soprano’s and Boardwalk Empire, as well as the quintessential mafia fiction book, Mario Puzo’s The Godfather. Like the The Soprano’s, the author’s books are contemporary, generally set in South Florida, although Louie Morelli’s Mistress takes place in Louie’s hometown of New Orleans, offering readers a glimpse of the Big Easy’s gritty underworld. Patricia’s main character, Louie Morelli, is the ultimate bad bay, an enigmatic mobster that always gets the girl, even if it does cause him marital problems.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Dr. Marlene Siersema, host of “Amazing Women: Brains, Beauty, and Style” on Voice America/World Talk Radio, recently asked Ms. Bellomo why a nice lady like her was writing about mobsters and mayhem, and Patricia replied, “I have a naughty imagination.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
Although the author admits to having known a few “Louie Morelli types,” she stresses that her books and characters are completely fictitious. They’re entertaining reads for those who like suspense and intrigue in exotic settings.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]
