Sinopsis

“The best kind of thriller. . . . Suspenseful, sentimental, and ultimately redemptive, Assassins Anonymous is a can’t-miss novel.” — S. A. Cosby,  author of All the Sinners Bleed
In this clever, surprising, page-turner, the world’s most lethal assassin gives up the violent life only to find himself under siege by mysterious assailants. It’s a kill-or-be-killed situation, but the first option is off the table. What’s a reformed hit man to do?

Mark was the most dangerous killer-for-hire in the world. But after learning the hard way that his life’s work made him more monster than man, he left all of that behind, and joined a twelve-step group for reformed killers.
When Mark is viciously attacked by an unknown assailant, he is forced on the run. From New York to Singapore to London, he chases after clues while dodging attacks and trying to solve the puzzle of who’s after him. All without...

Update 6/11/24: Reposting my review to celebrate that today is publication day!

“Welcome to Assassins Anonymous,” he says. “My name is Kenji, and I am a killer.”
…
“So you’re John Wick?” she asks.
I don’t bother to contain the eye roll. “Being an assassin is nothing John Wick.”
…
“We’re getting passports and IDs. Fake names. Only way to travel.”
She looks around at the stacks of copier paper. “Okay, this is some John Wick shit, though.”
“And?”
“You told me it was nothing that.”
“Maybe it’s a little that.”
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for sending me an ARC of Assassins Anonymous in exchange for an honest review.

Fifteen years ago, Mark made the transition from former Navy Seal to an assassin working for some shadowy US agency. He was known as the Pale Horse, a nickname people whispered the same way people speak of John Wick as the baba yaga. And then a year ago, Mark decided he had to stop. With the help of a former associate, Kenji, he tried to disappear, and started attending Kenji’s Assassins Anonymous meetings with a few other reformed killers. But tonight he was attacked, stabbed, and his notebook was stolen by a Russian hit man, and Mark decides to reenter his old life to find out why. But is there anyway he can succeed, stay alive, and maintain his new promise to not kill anyone?

Assassins Anonymous works on a number of levels. First, there is the mystery of who attacked Mark and why. Maybe some readers will connect the dots but I certainly did not. More importantly, the story works because Mark is an engaging character. You see the story from his rather snarky perspective. But the more you learn, especially as you get closer to why Mark made the decision to stop killing, the more you care about what happens to his character. I smiled every time someone said some version of “you’re an assassin? I thought you’d look more Jason Statham.” And even though it will be straight out of John Wick 2, I won’t be sorry if the author picks up the hook he very obviously left hanging and writes a sequel bringing Mark and the others back into this world.
