Eddie’s Boy by Thomas Perry - 5 Stars
Publisher: Grove Atlantic
ISBN: 978080215775
It has been several years since I
read the first three books in the Butcher’s Boy series. I was glad to see that
Michael has not lost his talents as he aged. I especially enjoyed the
flashbacks to his early years when Eddie taught him his trade, to kill and
survive.
As would be expected in a novel
about an assassin for the mob, there is plenty of action and violence. Michael
kills a lot of bad guys. His talents for intricate planning and manipulation
are as good as his ability to survive an attack on his life.
There is enough past history
included in this book to enjoy it without reading the first ones in the series,
but I am sure it will encourage you to read the first three as well. I was
excited to find that the Butcher’s Boy is back. While Thomas Perry’s books are
always enjoyable, these are my favorites.
