I thought this was really interesting to see how a they worked and what rules they had put in place for their protections and morals. The story is really something I wouldn't think about in my life despite knowing that hitman are out there.

Very well written book. It’s nice to see the hitman’s point of view. Glad I read it.

‘I think one of the keys to surviving life is to work out when to get out of something before it destroys you’

I actually enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would. I’m always a little hesitant about reading memoirs or something that may cross over into non-fiction but it had been staring at me from my huge pile of books for a while so I thought I’d give it a whirl and I actually I was hooked.

I found it so fascinating, even more so that it has been written anonymously, there are no names, no indication as to who this hitman could be - normally I’d be googling the details but the level of mystery is something that kept me interested.

I enjoyed reading how it all unfolded, how the authors own childhood has led him on the path he had chosen and how that’s panned out for him. 

Definitely a strong recommendation for somebody who enjoys this genre of book or anything true crime related!
