Keller is a regular guy. He goes to the movies, works on his stamp collection. Call him for jury duty and he serves without complaint. Then every so often, he gets a phone call from White Plains that sends him flying off somewhere to kill a perfect stranger.

Keller is a pro and very good at what he does. But the jobs have started to go wrong. The realization is slow coming, yet when it arrives, it is irrefutable: Someone out there is trying to hit the hit man. Keller, God help him, has found his way onto somebody else's hit list.

Another reviewer commented that this novel was like watching paint dry. That comment came to mind several times as i persevered through to the end and reached it with a sigh of relief. I like Block usually but this was badly in need of an editor or someone to say 'Enough with the cross-talk between Keller and Dot - it is really starting to grate!'. Listen at your peril.

A BIT TEDIOUS AND BARELY WORTH THE CREDIT

What did you love best about Hit List?

Love the character of Keller.....he just goes along clamly killing people and he is so inventive!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Plot was great enough to have me obtain the second book...good one also.

Which scene was your favorite?

Killing the guy in the restaurant was very ingenious.....I always thought hit men just shot people.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to it in a cuple of days and looked forward to getting back to it each time.

Any additional comments?

If a series about a killer can be "gentle" this is it.

It's hard to be a Hit Man out there....

Hit List is a solid but not exceptional entry in the series.

The story itself felt just above average to me—engaging enough, but not particularly memorable.

What truly elevated the experience was George Guidall’s narration. His delivery brings a level of polish, energy, and character depth that the book on its own doesn’t quite reach. If you’re a fan of Guidall, he’s the real highlight here.


Keep on listening my fellow audio book friends...

Guidall Makes It Worth It

What did you love best about Hit List?

The dry humour and the dry wit.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The overall plot is less important than the mini-plots as Keller's ingenious plans unfold, while negotiating this dangerous profession.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

He perfectly captured Keller's dead-pan dry humour.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Just sheer enjoyment, transports you out of your daily humdrum life and keeps you on the edge of your seat rooting for Keller, while also caring about some of the victims (but not too much).

Any additional comments?

Keller's sense of place: I love New York and stories set in New York. I discovered Keller years ago. Being able to enjoy Keller in another medium was such a treat (not always a given). In this case it was a Bull's Eye.

Gallows humour at its best

George should read all of Kellers series. He is quintessential Keller. I can’t see myself listening to anyone else reading this series. It was an absolute delight.

Really enjoyed this narration. Great reading!
