About this listen

Leland

Stopping a robbery was only the beginning—to fun, action-filled mayhem. Jackson’s afraid that I’m running headfirst into trouble (again), but I’m not… I’m running gun-first into it. When one of the robbers who’s really just a kid comes begging for my help, I definitely have no choice but to help him.

The kid is convinced his brother has been wrongly accused, and while Jackson My Love might be over there going, “You were hired to look into it, not to go undercover, sink a boat, and hunt down a gang,” I feel like he’s simply confused… because I’m gonna hunt down TWO gangs (and is that a car chase I see?).

Jackson

A simple “Whodunnit” turns into us being targeted by multiple bad guys as we run after them instead of away from them, dragging Cassel and Henry—and some others—along for the ride. I really can’t be the only one who sees the issue here, but… as I watch them race into danger, I’m starting to think I am.

Loving Leland comes easy, but keeping him safe doesn’t because there’s someone trailing Leland who might want to hurt him. The problem is that as Lucas strings us along and tales begin to become tangled, it’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.

Contains: Lifejackets used to protect all the wrong things (Leland: all the RIGHT things), the greatest tragedy of ALL TIME (involving The Fence) (even if Jackson doesn’t think so), and the kind of friends that make you realize you don’t need enemies.

My heart will go on!

I downloaded this book purely to hear in full the “boat scene” everyone was raving about and it was funny as expected.
Michael Ferraiuolo really brings this series to life and provides so many laugh out loud moments that wouldn’t have the same impact just by reading particularly when he’s singing.

The story was good and we get to meet some old and some new characters, had to stop though and think at one stage who was who, there were so many baddies and names running around.

As always Henry’s reply of “why am I on this” to group texts brings the usual chuckle also. Cassel is such a great character, so witty even without needing it to be a banter type response, he’s needs another book dedicated to him.

Once again, The Hitman's guide to...is a winner.

As usual, I found myself giggling and guffawing at Leyland's antics. The story line was superb and the narrator is, as always, perfect. I fall in love again, and again with all the characters, each book I listen to. well done, and keep them coming!!

Hilarious and entertaining

Every time I listen to a hitman novel, they just get better and better. This time, Leland and Jackson were the funniest and most exciting I’ve read. I’m hoping that Mika gets his own story next and I can’t wait for the hitman 6. Five stars
