Welcome to Litsy!

Infamous hitmen Charlie and Eli Sisters have been sent by the Commodore to dispatch one Hermann Kermit Warm, but on the way Eli begins to have an existential crisis. Finding himself with empathy for his bum horse, Tub, and a growing conviction that he might better enjoy life as a shopkeeper, Eli considers retirement. An unexpected final reckoning might make the choice for him. Richly drawn characters and a dose of dark humor make this one shine.

Mixed feelings on this one. I continue to enjoy Patrick Dewitt's writing talent; this book has a particular style, different from The Librarianist, but seamless in matching the tone of the book: at once snappy and brutal, occasionally meandering and contemplative. It feels like DeWitt set out to write something that echoes the first generation of westerns/adventure books, 1/?

I liked learning about the Barry, Bush and Lowell families. The story gives a true example of what comes around goes around. I have very strong feelings about one character in particular who I found to be very evil. I won‘t say more,
So as to avoid a spoiler. I highly recommend this book.

While my family went skiing, I stayed in the cabin with the pup! I finished the tagged book, which I received a while back as an early copy from the publisher.

I‘m giving it a low pick because I loved the 1890‘s Klondike chapters, but didn‘t love the 2015 present-day storyline. The 1890‘s Gold Rush chapters were exciting and thrilling and the Berry family‘s greed propelled the story. The 2015 chapters…
