About this listen

Ellis

Why is it that the first attractive man to look my way mistakes me for a bad guy, stuffs me in the trunk of his car, and ships me off to an island where I’m positive the only thing waiting for me is my own murder?

I mean... yeah, Tavish is charismatic and fun, but did I mention the whole trunk thing? Oh, maybe I forgot to mention his peculiar group of friends who keep promising to “help” me, but why are they running around with masks and weapons while praising fences?

Tavish and his friends are actually the bad guys, aren’t they?

If I (somehow) look past all of that… Tavish really does seem like a nice guy. He’s caring, funny, and willing to risk his life to protect me. It’s become quite clear that if I’m going to get out of this alive, I’m not going to be able to do it without him.

Tavish

So maybe I mixed things up a wee bit and took Ellis on a tiny road trip that he might not have been privy to. Ellis doesn’t seem to overly mind. I mean, yeah, maybe he tried blinding me with aerosol spray… or maybe I was just blinded by his handsome smile.

The problem is that Ellis is in danger, but he knows nothing about this world he’s been thrown into. He’s sweet, kind, and has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. And I’m prepared to protect it at all costs.

Contains a charming man who lays on a Scottish accent to get his way, a bewildered vet tech who’s wondering why everyone around him is so strange, a parrot who may or may not want to steal Tavish’s man, and the Hitman’s Guide crew up to their usual hijinks.

So good to have the assassins back!

Another crazy, fast paced romp with Leyland et. al. This one gives Tavish a story lead with a new character Ellis to add to the family. Poor Ellis, he really does not comprehend what has hit him by becoming involved in the antics of this crowd. The cast of favourites is also front and centre to travel alongside this story to keep it moving at pace with LOL's throughout.
I am so pleased this came along, and I hope there will be more. The world is a better place when the hitmen are around.
As always, Michael Ferraiuolo gives a stellar performance and bring the characters to life in such a fine way. Bravo.

So funny I had to read it twice

I’m glad I did my second listen to this as I didn’t realise how many little bits I’d missed while laughing at the previous joke. This has all the hallmarks of the previous books - quick wit, funny incidents, the murder van and the murder song! No car chase song though 🙁
Ellis’s running commentary at the beginning of his kidnap was funny and his general questioning and wonderment of the groups actions through the book where amusing.
I just wish the musical extravaganza that was the murder song at the end was longer - really felt like I was at a musical that was winding up for the big finale and wanted it to go on for another few verses 😆 Well done Michael, it’s fantastic. Hats off to Michael in general with his interpretation of the characters, I know there’s some parts that had I been reading them would not have sounded as funny as his portrayal. He really brings this series to life.
