The perfect crime doesn't exist. The perfect getaway . . . that's another story. Billy Summers is a killer for hire. He's among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet who can blend into any neighbourhood and disappear after the shot is taken. But he'll only agree to a contract if the target is a truly bad guy. Now Billy wants out. But first he's offered one final job - an offer which is just too big to refuse. As the days count down to the hit, Billy senses something is wrong. He doesn't yet know just how wrong, or about the woman who will help him try to set things right. Part thriller, part war story, part lyrical portrait of small-town America, Billy Summers is about a good man in a bad job, with one last shot at redemption
Good normal build up and one of the typical King's ways of dragging you into a story. But the end, though good, did fail and kinda fell in interest and joy to read compared the rest of the book
I liked it. I liked the character of Alice better than Billy. It would be interesting to see a future book about her. Would she end up becoming a hitwoman?
Still, I bought this because: 1) it was Stephen King and 2) I read it was good. But truthfully, I tired of his crime books. The End of Watch trilogy was enough for me. I want to get back to his horror. I should've picked up [b:If It Bleeds|46015758|If It Bleeds|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1571399830l/46015758.SY75.jpg|70552618] instead
