About this listen
Keller is a regular guy. He goes to the movies, works on his stamp collection. Call him for jury duty and he serves without complaint. Then every so often, he gets a phone call from White Plains that sends him flying off somewhere to kill a perfect stranger.
Keller is a pro and very good at what he does. But the jobs have started to go wrong. The realization is slow coming, yet when it arrives, it is irrefutable: Someone out there is trying to hit the hit man. Keller, God help him, has found his way onto somebody else's hit list.

Story
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

Gallows humour at its best
What did you love best about Hit List?
The dry humour and the dry wit.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The overall plot is less important than the mini-plots as Keller's ingenious plans unfold, while negotiating this dangerous profession.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
He perfectly captured Keller's dead-pan dry humour.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just sheer enjoyment, transports you out of your daily humdrum life and keeps you on the edge of your seat rooting for Keller, while also caring about some of the victims (but not too much).
Any additional comments?
Keller's sense of place: I love New York and stories set in New York. I discovered Keller years ago. Being able to enjoy Keller in another medium was such a treat (not always a given). In this case it was a Bull's Eye.

A BIT TEDIOUS AND BARELY WORTH THE CREDIT
Another reviewer commented that this novel was like watching paint dry. That comment came to mind several times as i persevered through to the end and reached it with a sigh of relief. I like Block usually but this was badly in need of an editor or someone to say 'Enough with the cross-talk between Keller and Dot - it is really starting to grate!'. Listen at your peril.

It's hard to be a Hit Man out there....
What did you love best about Hit List?
Love the character of Keller.....he just goes along clamly killing people and he is so inventive!
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Plot was great enough to have me obtain the second book...good one also.
Which scene was your favorite?
Killing the guy in the restaurant was very ingenious.....I always thought hit men just shot people.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to it in a cuple of days and looked forward to getting back to it each time.
Any additional comments?
If a series about a killer can be "gentle" this is it.

Outstanding but......
If you could sum up Hit List in three words, what would they be?
Great Suspense Novel
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Always a good storr from this author
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
He's one of the best in the business. Great voice, easy to listen to, great acting out the different voices of characters. Top Notch. The author thinking he could replace George Guidall on the next book is just beyond ridiculous.
Any additional comments?
Author is great author and George Guidall is a great reader. HOWEVER AUTHOR IS NOT A GOOD READER, HE HAS A WHINEY NASALY VOICE AND DOES NOT DO ANY OF THE CHARACTERS SO DONT GET THE NEXT BOOK THAT HE READS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THROUGH AND I RETURNED IT

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I am not sure if my friends read the same type of stuff I do, but I would recommend it just for the narrator and dialogue.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
George Guidall could read a physics text book and make it interesting.

Great second book in the Kellar series but…
I absolutely love the Hit man Kellar series. This book is great, and you need to read it second to do the series in order, but the stories here are not as good as #1 Hit Man or #3 Hit Parade. If you’re new to Kellar, pick either of those to start with. If you’ve read Hit Man and are doing the books in order just know they get better.
I see Audible claims to have a version of this narrated by the author and I would recommend that. When he (Lawrence Block) reads his own book the humor is impossible to miss. This George Guidall version is just not as snappy and entertaining of a performance.
