Another very enjoyable read from Lawrence Block in the Keller hitman series. In this one we get a much closer examination of Keller's relationship with Dot. I know a lot of reviewers have complained that the middle section of the book drags. I beg to differ, Block very cleverly begins to lead us into believing that Keller is really a normal guy capable of ordinary relationships. He gets an ordinary job, has abandoned his stamp collecting. Then (no spoiler so I'll omit the details) Block drags us back into the old world. I don't think anyone can write mundane conversation with such realism and skill as Block.
