Welcome to Litsy!

This book has been on my shelf forever. It was a so so read for me. As the title suggests there is a lot of killing in this book. The main character it a hitman who unwittingly is called to do a job outside of protocol and chaos ensues. Ended up being a read AND donate. I dropped it off at a little free library near me and swapped it for this Encyclopedia Brown book. #ReadOrDonate #EBBR #ISpyBingo

My contribution to the #litsylovereadathon combining with #20in4 This book has been on my TBR at least 5 years. Found at a library sale probably closer to 7 years ago #Weapon #ScaryFebruary

Wignall shows us beauty even in violent death weaving the threads of character into a philosophical and introspective fabric of a man who is fully cognizant that he is damaged goods.
The moral question is the Big One: Can good ever arise out of evil? Can just ends evolve from foul means? “People Die“ leaves the reader who lives complacently by simple rules of right and wrong in a moral stew, yet with hope for a killer who fails to be heartless.

“People Die“ is one of the most lyrical novel about killing that I've ever read. I rank it equal to Robert Olmstead's “Far Bright Star.“

William “JJ“ Hoffman is no ordinary assassin. Instead, due to Wignall's prose and characterization, we see the human being rather than the monster we normally would expect to see in a person who earns his living ending other people's lives.
