Title: HIT MAN. What a hoot!
Product review: I finished this book with a rollicking laugh--loud and long.I suspected tongue-in-cheek early on ("Call me Tex."?) butcouldn't be absolutely certain at that point. Had the suspicion not lingered, however, I doubt whether I could have continued to read through to the end. Indeed, the uncertainty was what kept me turning the pages. I had to know. I have to say, though, that had the finish revealed a HIT MAN to have been taken seriously, I'd have been angry for failing to sense that direction and for wasting my time and energy reading something I'd have found quite unpalatable. (All shadows of all doubts were convincingly erased with the introduction of philately.) I wonder how many authors could have pulled this off successfully.Thanks, Mr. Block, for a deliciously spicy read. Now, how about more Matt Scudder.
