When Frank Temple III learns that contract killer Devin Matteson is on his way to Willow Lake, WI, he heads there right away. Matteson has been warned not to return to the area. Frank blames Matteson for his father's suicide and wants revenge. When Frank arrives, Matteson is nowhere to be found. Instead, he finds a beautiful woman and a mysterious guy with a gun who Frank met earlier in the day. In a matter of hours, a pair of hitmen have arrived and are asking questions about the mysterious man with the gun. Frank knows they work for Matteson and that Matteson will be arriving shortly.
It took me a long time to figure out where this story was going. We spent a lot of time in Frank's head where he flashed back to his father's death and how his life changed after that event. When the two hitmen came to town, the action picked up. Unfortunately, it slowed down in the middle of the book and the story became a little confusing. Thankfully the pace picked up again near the end.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Mark Boyett. He does a decent job with the voices, but there were just too many characters for me to keep track of. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

This is a stand alone book--does not include the familiar characters of his other books but still quite good.
Can't read enough of his books! I really like the sewttings of his books and this one was especially good.
