Larence writes so many different characters that it's logical one would not like them all. I did like this character. but not particularily the style he wrote in. The lead, Keller is a hit man. Each chapter represents a different assignment. Although he ties the chapters together now and then, it just wasn't as satisfying for me at the books end. Good for short reading times...

I think I'm in love with Keller Great sense of humor, gets the job done, has a dog. This isn't one novel with one story. Take it as ten little stories (as they were published in Playboy magazine), a series of killings and mini adventures.

Hmmm not sure if I would want to have Keller as a friend. Well, then I guess he would not kill me? ;)

Really enjoyable read- the focus is entirely on the man rather than the job and Keller is a likable guy. I'm hoping for a sequel as I'd like to see him get his dog back :o)

Just check your moral indignation at the door, and this book is really funny. I especially like Chapter 3, Keller's Therapy.
To me, Keller's introspective musings are reminiscent of John Cusack in the movie Grosse Pointe Blank.

A fun and perverse read!

"Keller is your basic Urban Lonely Guy. He makes a decent wage, lives in a nice apartment... Until the phone rings and he packs a suitcase, flies halfway across the country and kills somebody." Anything Lawrence Block writes is amazing. I guess you could call me a fan.

Keller is your basic urban lonely guy. He makes a decent wage, lives in a nice apartment. Works the crossword puzzle. Until the phone rings and he packs a suitcase, gets on a plane, and kills somebody. Is this life? He goes to a shrink, but it doesn't work out like he planned.
