I've always been interested in true crime. I'd get lots of books from the library on all sorts of criminals, serial killers, arsonists, etc etc, this invariably led me to finding the 'Mafia' section too and once discovered I was hooked and fascinated by the whole trip!! (Those gory photos they showed of the bodies helped to horrify and fascinate too )
When I saw the fliks Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas etc it was the icing on the cake for me ha!!
