        			&quot;Sardonically funny and psychologically astute.&quot;--Publishers Weekly&quot;Kuhn&apos;s sharp-as-a-blade humor keeps readers, like the bullets, flying through pages. And despite the deadly doings, Hostile is quite romantic, for Lago is hopelessly smitten with Alice, just a boy standing in front of a girl, asking her not to kill him.&quot;--Shelf Awareness&quot;Far grittier than a Bond film and infused with the mind-bending, identity-shifting elements of, say, &quot;Mission: Impossible, &apos;&apos; &quot;Hostile Takeover&apos;&apos; is fun, smart and jam-packed with serious splatter and gore. Lago&apos;s canny shenanigans will keep you riveted, from its taut opening pages to its explosive, cinematic ending.&quot;--Boston Globe&quot;Suspenseful, bloody, and eminently entertaining. Kuhn can spin a fine phrase (a cold day, he says, is &quot;like Flannery O&apos;Connor&apos;s last breath--raw and as hard as the hammer of divine retribution&quot;), and his smart, witty prose carries the day in this masterfully plotted mayhem with more than a touch of wry.&quot; --Booklist (starred review)&quot;All of the testosterone-bloated wisdom of Tucker Max mixed with the satire of American Psycho.&quot;--Entertainment Weekly

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Sold in UK as "Shoot the Messenger"
*by U***1 on 6 October 2016*

Good book - but be aware this is an American version of "Shoot the Messenger"  - of which I now have two copies - which will teach me to read the description before just ordering

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wicked!
*by F***S on 14 September 2015*

Picture Mr. & Mrs. Smith at The Office. Even the banter is alike.The dynamic between John and Alice is pretty cool. Yeah, they're married, and yeah, they're often trying to kill each other. Literally. They really do seem to love each other though.The amount of times I laughed was equal to the exciting parts. And yet, I feel like a continuation of the series wouldn't be weird. It would be welcomed, at least by me.I love this series, and pray to the literary gods for more. I just can't get enough! These books keep me thoroughly entertained.
