review 1: This short novel is wonderfully humorous. Albert Rossi owns a menswear store in Eastcote, suburban London. Driving home one evening a man runs out in front of his car and Albert hits and kills him, a terrible accident. While out of his car checking on the victim, Albert is approached by someone else, unseen by him, who warns him off. And the farce begins.Later that night when Albert receives a phone call from a mysterious caller who sounds like Stephen Hawking, he takes a step in a new career direction, that of hitman.As Albert clumsily fumbles his way through his next couple of jobs, which he took to pull himself out of a bad financial situation, he discovers he may be in over his head. He knows his menswear, easily able to identify quality goods, but is unfamiliar with d... moreealing with the tools of the assassin.This is a lovely little novel of an ordinary man in an extraordinary situation.
review 2: Quick read by name and quick read by nature, but in the process we have here a gem of a book. Three good characters, comic observations and funny moments means this is a book that will leave a smile on your face.The main character is a reluctant hit man who is hunted by other killers and a dogged copper keen to get is man. If you come across this book I urge you to read it and share the enjoyment these few pages bring less
