    About this audiobook

    Using a tanning salon as a front, Edinburgh-based Carlos Morales arranges contract killings. But his hit man's in jail and won't be out for a while. So when an anonymous payment arrives, Carlos decides to take the job on himself. But once the 'mark' is revealed, Carlos re-thinks his plan. This is no longer business - it's personal - because the 'mark' is his mother.

    • 2/5
      Different premise for a suspense tale but never developed the characters.
      Left me cold.
    • 4/5
      A bite sized entry from the author/agent Allan Guthrie that reads like a gritty noir dream, following a hitman's attempt to discover who put the contract out on his mother.Fast and furious and a pleasure to read!
    • 2/5
      Seriously effed up. Overall, well written but much to dark for my tastes. Formatting was a hot mess too.
    • 4/5
      Guthrie is a fine writer, and this novella gets nastier with every twist. It shows what can happen when there is lack of trust in a marriage as it pulls you deeper and deeper into the husband's nightmare. You won't forget this one for a while.
