Review: Pulp and Literary in the right mix

It's a challenge making hired killers in fiction feel fresh and interesting.  Kill/Off accomplishes that, by walking a thin path between realistic, well-drawn, flawed characters, and the kind of gonzo conspiracy tale that serves so well.  The read is brisk, the action sharp, and the plot spare, yet in the gaps Taff creates the feel of a much larger world.  It's the story of one man's trip to becoming a reluctant assassin, yet it's the shadowy and idealistic Group that will continue to fascinate me.
