About this listen
Jackson
Now that Leland’s decided to give up his life as a hitman and take a walk on the mild side, we’ve been enjoying a simple life of taking down bad guys the legal way. I didn’t know he would be just as reckless as a PI, but it’s not my fault if I happen to enjoy helping him hunt down the occasional criminal. If only I could keep the house from being overrun by Leland’s gun shrine - or stop him from making our cases “more exciting” by terrorizing people into confessing. Overall, life seems perfect, right?
Wrong.
We’ve been called in to investigate a suspicious murder committed by someone claiming to be the Sandman. When we find a note on the victim’s body, we realize that this could ruin our lives forever.
Leland:
I wasn’t involved in the murder. It might look like my writing and my note, but I wouldn’t do that to Jackson -especially after I promised him that I wouldn’t take a hit ever again. At least, not without telling him. I’m finally starting to learn that we’re stronger together, and I’m not going to jeopardize that.
Luckily for both of us, this copycat doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. Game’s on, fake Sandman. You think you can mess with me? Well, maybe you can, but that’s beside the point, because I will protect Jackson no matter what, even if I almost drown him in the process. (Really, that wasn’t my fault. He should learn how to swim better.)
This audiobook contains: Disco ball piñata, camping with Sasquatch, an acrobatic housekeeper named “Mr. Cleanyface”, a questionable massage table, weapons everywhere, Jackson’s nemesis - the fence, a turkey showdown, aerial silk antics, a reappearance of Blow-up Randy, over-the-top body armor, too many hitmen, and so many emotions that Leland’s chest might explode. This is the second book in a series - while you could listen and enjoy it on its own, you really should listen to The Hitman’s Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love for maximum enjoyment.

omg i think i peed laughing
So damn funny. my fave seean that i felt was thee funniest was when the boys were at the kitchen tabe haveing an overly salted dinner. omg thankfully i read the book 5 times or i wouldn't have been prepared for this. i made damn sure i also wasn't drinking or i could have drowned. if you haven't read anything from Alice Winters your a looser and deserve to have Leyland fuck you up. but for us intelligent creatures this is funnier than Leylands first book. i would love more in the series as long as Michael farri fabulous reads it. loved it ! And have recommend this series and author to mm lovers on fb. so i back up my love butand not in the naughty way.

story = 4 1/2 stars
Definitely read The Hitman's Guide series in order - Leland's background from the first book is relevant in understanding what is happening plot wise in The Hitman's Guide to Staying Alive Despite Past Mistakes (and book 1 is hilarious as well). The reader could manage reading this as a standalone, but it is really a much more enjoyable story reading in order.
Leland is still a crazy funny OTT character that loves messing with people. He's all about crazy antics and poor Jackson just gets dragged along for the ride. The story is filled with constant humour, and banter between Leland and basically whoever he is conversing with. Even the serious moments don't feel that serious because.......Leland! Lots of action happening as well due to the PI/Hitman angle. I really hope there is more Leland and Jackson to come, as I'm loving their story so far.
The narrator is SO good performing these characters. I smiled and laughed listening to his performances (especially of Leland). He really nails the performance of Leland.

More hitman hilarity!
Reformed but unrepentant hitman, Leland, hasn’t quite got the hang of Jackson’s routine private investigator work, preferring to scare confessions out of suspects rather than waste time collecting evidence! When Leland’s past threatens to endanger not only them, but also friends and family, he and Jackson need all of Leland’s 200+ guns to save the day. This second book in the Hitman Guide series is as fun and enjoyable as the first, largely thanks to Leland’s irrepressible and intentionally embarrassing chatter and antics. 🎧 The always hilarious Michael Ferraiuolo delivers the zany lines and scenes with his usual panache!

J'adore
Ce 2eme tome est aussi drôle que le premier !
On retrouve bien l'écriture d'Alice Winters avec ces personnages attachants et loufoques.
Leland attire toujours les problèmes, son mentor Lucas est de retour et il veut le récupérer.
On suit Jackson et Leland dans leur aventure pour ce sortir de cette situation avec leur acolytes habituels plus un petit nouveau bien prometteur, Castle !
Michael Ferraiuolo fait un travail de narration extraordinaire, facilement compréhensible même quand l'anglais n'est pas votre premiere langue !
This second volume is as funny as the first one.
We find the writing of Alice Winters with these endearing and wacky characters.
Leland always attracts problems, his mentor Lucas is back and he wants him back.
We follow Jackson and Leland on their adventure to get out of this situation with their usual sidekicks plus a promising new addition, Castle!
Michael Ferraiuolo does an extraordinary work of storytelling, easily understandable even when English is not your first language
