Hit Me by Lawrence Block

Review by Diane G. (icesk8tr)

For those of you who love Lawrence Block’s Keller series, you are going to love his latest Hit Me!

Nicholas Edwards now lives in New Orleans doing honest work and making decent money renovating houses, and fixing them up after hurricane Katrina. He has been keeping busy with his family, and his stamp collection. You would not think that he used to make his money killing people.

Then the economy starts to take a down turn, and he does not get many construction jobs. He starts wondering how long his savings will last him. Then Dot, who he used to work for in his previous career, calls him out of the blue asking him to do a job for him, and the man known as Keller is back in business.

Thus, he is back at it, and traveling back to New York, Dallas, and even taking his wife Julia along on a cruise.  Julia has accepted her husband’s occupation, and sometimes seems intrigued by it.

If you have read the other books in this series, you will enjoy this one. It was a pretty quick read, but kept you wondering how he was going to complete each job as it came along.

The Keller series books are as follows:
