“An exciting thriller …action the entire way.” –The Reading Cafe

Everything is on the line…

Raymond Hunter’s dark past has returned and demands one final favor. Now fifteen years later, settled as an accountant and family man, he assumed life would be calm. He thought wrong. The Italian mafia wants him back.

The directions were simple: Kill Governor Behler and be out for good.

Despite the odd request since the mafia typically respects dignitaries, in order to protect his family, he has no choice but to accept the job. He picks the date and location Niagara Falls, New York two hundred and forty miles away. But by the time he returns home, he finds out the assassination attempt failed, his family has been kidnapped, and he has twenty-four hours to set things right if he wants to see them again.

With time running out, Raymond discovers the real reason they wanted Behler dead and finds out he’s placed himself and his family right in the middle of a mafia power struggle. What he doesn’t realize is that law enforcement is also closing in.

4,0 su 5 stelle Gripping, gritty, compelling suspense
Recensito in Italia il 14 febbraio 2016
Raymond Hunter, a retired Mafia assassin, has been living a quiet life for fifteen years with his adored wife Brenda, daughter and son, when the son of his old boss comes calling, wanting one last job done. Ray’s in no position to refuse when his family is threatened.

What ensues is gripping, gritty and compelling suspense. The police are on Ray’s trail almost from the start, the FBI becomes involved and a Mafia internal power play draws them all in.

I can’t remember the last time I read a story in which I found myself rooting for the assassin, but in this one I did.

The author’s knowledge of crime and weaponry adds to the atmospherics as does the writing style. I’ll say it again: gritty.

The reason I’ve given it a four star rating rather than a five is because Ray’s wife and daughter get a minimal point of view airing. I think the story would have benefitted from either staying exclusively with the main characters or giving the women in his life more page space.

There was just one more deficiency for me. Towards the end of the story Brenda’s past and a possible part in the crime is alluded to without being explained. It left me wondering. If there is to be a sequel, then I understand, because it may be explained at some point. If there isn’t a sequel, then it’s left me hanging.

One word comes to mind when I read Carolyn Arnold's latest novel Assassination of a Dignitary...... Craftsmanship. Arnold has crafted a Novel that will take you inside of of the Mob and the mind of a paid Assassin. As the story starts to develop I found myself able to mentally picture every scene, every room and person Arnold describes. I have not read all of Arnold's books but I believe that she has truly hit her stride with this novel. It is outstanding in everyway. Like her previous novels the attention to detail is without equal. Minor details are fleshed out in a way that captures your attention and draws the reader into the story. I caught myself smiling at the way she details the relationships between investigative agencies involved in the book. They are always confrontational in the real world and she captures that expertly. It is almost as if she has actually worked the cases she writes about. I would highly recommend picking up a copy of Assassination of a Dignitary but be warned you will not be able to put it down. It is intense in the way a Tsunami is wet... you will be overwhelmed with Arnold's ability to pull you into the story and make you understand and visualize the characters. I found myself experiencing an array of emotions as the story developed that I did not expect from reading a novel about a mob hit. This novel is extremely entertaining to say the least. I have not read anything this intriguing since Caleb Carr's award winning novel "The Alienist". To rate this novel with a star rating is pointless, no amount of stars can capture the experience the reader will endure. It is in a word- Excellent.

4,0 su 5 stelle "Astoundingly Written Suspense Novel"

Author Carolyn Arnold has certainly shared her outstanding talents as an author. In this very lengthy story, Ray Hunter was a previous hitman for the Mafia. Now he has a family and a thriving accounting business. He is now married to Brenda, and they had two children, Yvonne, 14 years old, and Max, their son, age 10. Christian Russo, son of Italian Mafia Don Pietro Russo shows up in Ray's home while Ray is alone. He wants Ray to do a job for him, even though Ray has been living an ordinary, good life for 15 years. Governor of Michigan, Marian Behler, is a client of Ray's firm for many years. They had grown close. But this is the person Christian wants killed, and he's willing to pay big bucks to Ray to do the job. If not, there would be a huge price Ray would have to face. Can Hunter really risk his family? His history of years being an assassin for the Don was not known to anyone except the Don and his son. Ray must decide by 9:00 a.m. the next morning; and the job must be accomplished within the week. Why would a man with over 10 million dollars tucked away, risk his family to kill a known friend? Is it that obvious that he enjoyed the kill vs the money he will be paid? What happens when his wife becomes aware of just what her husband is? He's an assassin, and enjoys the kill. Author Carolyn Arnold has a superb writing style, at times vigorous, at times not so in this extremely long novel. I found too many chapters going back to the same thoughts of all the characters which really strung the novel out too long for me. I found myself skimming through these repetitive segments, wishing that the author had written this novel as two. Perhaps I'd find the second novel just as enthralling as the first half, one I'd look forward to. Her plot development is fantastic, and I'm disappointed in myself for wanting to rush to the ending just too quickly. Hang in there till the end; don't miss a word!

I first became acquainted with Ms. Arnold's work when I read Pearls of Deception. I loved it and read her entire Madison Knight Series and the first of her Brandon Fisher FBI series. I love the way she writes and her books hold my interest from page one through the end.

When I decided to read Assassination of a Dignitary, I wondered if I would enjoy it as much as the others. I can honestly say I did and I had a hard time putting it down. This story of a retired hit man living as a mild mannered accountant again grabbed me from the beginning when he comes face to face with his past.

Ms. Arnold writes rich characters and descriptive scenes. The reader can feel they are in the midst of the action. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. If you want a good action book then grab this one. You won't be sorry.
