Salut mes P’tits Chats!
J’espère que vous allez bien. Je vous retrouve aujourd’hui pour vous parler de The Hitman’s Guide to Stately Fences and Killer Defenses de Alice Winters que je remercie pour ce SP. Il s’agit du huitième tome dans sa série The Hitman’s Guide qui est une série de l’auteure que j’aime beaucoup.
Résumé :
Leland
Life is normal… suspiciously normal.
During my long, lonely years as a hitman, I never realized that one day, I would have a family to call my own.
Now, instead of stalking my targets and taking down people with a flick of my wrist, my specialties lie in things like planning sleepovers (why does Waylon look terrified?), The Fence hour (those are screams of joy), and involving others to help our child succeed (no, of course I didn’t abduct anyone).
But for a guy like me, things can’t stay good for too long. Someone seems to think that I should still be the ruthless hitman I used to be. They want to draw me back into the limelight and prove to me that what I’m living now is a lie.
But they don’t realize how much they’re going to regret meeting the Sandman–especially once they threatened my family.

This person seems to be obsessed with an image of Leland from the past, and because of it, we now have a crime boss on our tail and a bounty on Leland’s head. The stalker has no idea that Leland comes with multiple ex-assassins, a sketchy Scotsman, and the chief of police who likes to pretend he doesn’t want to be involved.
I adore my life with Leland just the way it is (someone, please burn down The Fence), and no one is going to ruin that (I will pay well).
They’d better be afraid to sleep because the Sandman is coming (and if they took down The Fence while they were at it, I wouldn’t mind).
FR- Alors alors…. alors The Hitman’s Guide est une série que j’aime beaucoup.
Je ne vais pas m’étendre sur le pourquoi du comment, quand on en arrive à 8 tomes dans une série, les gens savent un peu de quoi on parle. Ce tome 8 ne fait pas exception à la règle. On y retrouve tous les éléments qu’on aime dont le coté complètement loufoque de Leland.
The Hitman’s Guide to Stately Fences and Killer Defenses ne peut que ravir les fans de la série.
Alice Winters nous propose un tome dans la lignée des précédents et réunis toute l’équipe sur la majorité du roman. J’aima vraiment plusieurs personnages secondaires de cette série et c’est toujours un plaisir de les retrouver. Ils sont tous aussi tarés les uns que les autres et j’ai énormément rit pendant ma lecture.
Alors oui parfois c’est too much. Mais c’est ce qu’on aime dans cette série.
Les situations plus rocambolesques les unes que les autres s’enchainent et Alice Winters nous régale des loufoqueries de ses personnages. Cependant l’intrigue est vraiment bien amenée et le méchant m’a vraiment intriguée toute ma lecture.
C’était également un plaisir de voir Waylon évoluer au sein de sa nouvelle famille et de s’affirmer de plus en plus. Leland va avoir du fil à retordre avec lui.
La fin du roman laisse supposer qu’il s’agira du dernier tome, bien qu’Alice Winters n’ai rien dit dans un sens ou dans l’autre. J’espère cependant avoir un dernier tome sur Everly et Micah
En résumé, The Hitman’s Guide to Stately Fences and Killer Defenses est un excellent tome dans une excellente série.
ENG-So, so… so, The Hitman’s Guide is a series I really enjoy.
I won’t go into the whys and wherefores; when a series reaches eight books, people know what they’re talking about. This eighth book is no exception. It has all the elements we love, including Leland’s completely wacky personality.
The Hitman’s Guide to Stately Fences and Killer Defenses is sure to delight fans of the series.
Alice Winters delivers a book in keeping with the previous ones and reunites the whole team for most of the novel. I really like several of the secondary characters in this series, and it’s always a pleasure to see them again. They’re all equally crazy, and I laughed a lot while reading it.
So yes, sometimes it’s a bit much. But that’s what we love about this series.
The increasingly outlandish situations unfold one after another, and Alice Winters delights us with the eccentricities of her characters. However, the plot is very well-developed, and the villain truly intrigued me throughout my reading.
It was also a pleasure to see Waylon grow within his new family and become more and more assertive. Leland is going to have his hands full with him.
The end of the novel suggests that this will be the final volume, although Alice Winters hasn’t said anything one way or the other. I do hope, however, that there will be a final volume focusing on Everly and Micah.
In short, The Hitman’s Guide to Stately Fences and Killer Defenses is an excellent installment in an excellent series.
