About this listen
Now a major motion picture from director Ridley Scott starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver
The sensational true story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed that shook the Gucci dynasty, now fully updated with a new afterword
On the morning of March 27, 1995, four quick shots cracked through Milan’s elegant streets. Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, had been ambushed, slain on the steps to his office by an unknown gunman. Two years later, Milan’s chief of police entered the sumptuous palazzo of Maurizio’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani - nicknamed “the Black Widow” by the press - and arrested her for the murder.
Did Patrizia kill her ex-husband because his spending was wildly out of control? Did she do it because he was preparing to marry his mistress? Or is it possible Patrizia didn’t do it at all?
The Gucci story is one of glitz, glamour, and intrigue - a chronicle of the rise, near-fall, and subsequent resurgence of a fashion dynasty. Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and widely acclaimed, The House of Gucci is a pause-resisting account of high fashion, high finance, and heartrending personal tragedy.

Riveting.
I cannot recommend this stunning book more highly as it is a gripping expose into one of the worlds great European fashion houses that is brimming with insight, empathy and humour.

Thorough, interesting and fun
Well written and presented story. Not only providing insight of Gucci, but the fashion industry. Learned more about the wealth, life and cut throat nature of the business…and the tragedy.

Great listen
The book was a bit slow at the start I felt bogged down with all the different generations and companies spoken about but as the story continued I really enjoyed it.

Boring
Not much energy in the book. It was like hearing a random family tree…he begat …her…who married him…who designed a new briefcase….

History of the company.
If you're interested in the history of the gucci company, this book is for you. If you want an interesting and gripping story, you'll need to look elsewhere. bloombery reviewed the book as "riveting" which I can only interpret as a description of what they were doing instead of listening to this book.
