A gem

Like all the books from the Kings, "Contract Killers" is brilliant stuff. British humor at its best. I think this one it's my favorite of all their books. Drop-dead funny, and stuffed with kinds of delicious things. They're presented in a low key throw-away style -- read it carefully or you'll miss them. I won't give any examples here; do yourself a favor and read it for yourself.

Great Bridge Fiction

Like Mollo, but better. This is one of the four very fine books from the Kings, who write extremely good satire of other authors. I highly recommend all of their books, especially their first, The Kings' Tales.
