He thought he would get more pleasure from killing the Jews, not that he was actually doing it for pleasure, no, it was a necessary act, a political act, he knew that, still . . . he had expected to feel something more. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I happened on this latest installment of Butch Karp's adventures by Robert Tanenbaum more or less by accident and was surprised by the amazing characters. The book was hard to put down and I am now looking forward to going back and reading all the other books in the series. What a great discovery! I note that the reader reviews are not at all consistent, and tend to be either 'love it' or 'hate it.' Well, put me down in the 'love it' category. I liked Butch and Marlene, and their strong relationship. Lucy and Tran were my favorites, though. I also enjoyed El Chivato as one of the most colorful killers in my recollection.
Format:Hardcover
As with all of Tanenbaum's books, I find it hard to put down once started. The fast pace, comedy and surprises around every corner make Butch and Marlene two of my favorite fictional characters. Lucy is every bit her mothers daughter, I would never want Tran on my bad side and who wouldn't want a loyal and obediant dog like Sweetie! The great mix of characters and their personalities in addition to great storylines, makes Tanenbaum number one in my "book".
Format:Hardcover
Ditto to the two above. Lovely, interesting people and bits and pieces of real life. It's scary and thrilling when you live it right. Butch and Marlene said ok, we will too. Wonderful fun!

Lots of glitches in details ruined the story for me.
This story takes place in 1981; however, the child prodigy has already seen the Star Wars Trilogy (!!!) and the au pair listens to REM (debut album released in 1983). Read more

Terrible book, poorly written, very unrealistic
A full third of the book is develoted to his wife who has no substantive role. The names are confusing as hell and the writing is terrible. Read more

It Didn't Work For Me
Tanenbaum is a favorite writer, but this one just did not "rise to the level of"!

A bit over the top but still a great read!
For those who have followed the trials (literally) and tribulations of Butch Karp and his one-eyed, gun-totin', walk-on-the-wild-side wife/lawyer/partner in crime Marlene Ciampi,... Read more
