Helpful Score: 2

Part of the new and exciting Hard Case Crime series of paperbacks, this is a hard-boiled noir book that takes place in modern-day NYC. It features a not-very-bright but midly rich fellow who is tired of his wife and wants instead to marry his very hot secretary. He hires a hit man--the wrong guy; he's a psychopath--and things spiral out of control. Some find this hilarious; I found in mildly amusing. I always have trouble identifying with lowlife viewpoint characters; other than that it's a well-written, entertaining story.
