The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne by Ron Currie, 368 pages

Babs Dionne is proud of her Acadian roots, and serves as the matriarch to the whole town of Waterville, Maine, helping out and keeping miscreants in line with the help of her coffee klatch of lifelong friends. She's also the leading drug supplier to the area, using those same friends to help keep the business running. When a kingpin learns that Babs has been cutting into his business, he sends a malevolent hitman to take out Babs and any family members who may get in the way.

I'll be honest: it's been a bit since I've read this book and I don't remember a lot of the details of it. However, I do remember chuckling a lot at the dark humor of this Acadian mafia saga. The audiobook was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.
