The real story in this book starts with Victor being jobless, without getting any assassination contracts from his brokers in a long time, and bored enough to face a meeting with his old Russian employer who’d betrayed him previously in the first book. Wood’s intricate skill of handling a perfect anti-hero whose many humane flaws and strengths bring together a protagonist who’s not exactly a role model but a character who gets the respect, awe, and amazement from the readers of gritty, grim, and seriously smart action thrillers. Tom Wood spins a wickedly twisted and brilliantly fun tale in Better Off Dead, with his anonymous, amoral, and sociopathic protagonist – Victor the assassin, which left me breathless and desperately addicted to his work.
