The Butcher's Boy by Thomas Perry

3.0

There were so many positives about 'The Butcher’s Boy’. The story-line was interesting with a hit-man being chased by the organization that had originally hired him to do the hit, and a young female working for the Department of Justice who was tracking down that organization. Not just that, but the story had good pace throughout. And yet, it never really did it for me. Neither of the main characters was ever given enough depth to make me root for them, and the were no ups and downs, no moments of tension, excitement and release. It just remained at the same level from beginning to end. I liked it, but not too much.
