I've been in the mood for good action reads lately. I have recently gone through a slump where nothing appealed. I read several books that left me...well cold.
However I've had a couple now that I've really enjoyed. Here we're picking back up on the life of "The Butcher's Boy" (we'll get a bit more explanation of that name in this book). He's been gone for 10 years living peacefully in a new life he built after the fiasco of the first book. Then someone from "the mob" stumbles on his new life and ...more

Great book - even though written in 1992, still loved the action and the character. Glad I read this one before reading The Informant which is also a Butcher's Boy novel. Not that it will detract from the enjoyment of the 3rd book, but will now have a bit more history with the characters.
The main character is a hired killer. He is the MAIN character that you keep pulling for even against the FBI or the police.

Thoroughly enjoyed "Butcher Boy"...looked forward to this sequel and I wasn't disappointed...very clever plotting and character development & a few twists along the way...the Butcher's Boy is spotted by a wise-guy while attending races in his English escape site...now he must cut off further intrusions into his "safety zone" and does so by clipping loose ends amongst the MOB...Elizabeth Waring and the DOJ are closing in while he's stuck in the USA...rooting for him to succeed and avoid justice i

Not bad, but I had to drag myself through the last 40 pages or so.
Very good. The characters are evolving in this series, in a good way. Compelling plot.
