# 11 -- The Butcher's Boy

I listened to The Butcher's Boy by Thomas Perry on my iPod. It's an older book (published in 1982) and has mafia hit men and the Justice Dept. involved. The forward talks about what a great story it is and the characters, but honestly, I had a difficult time keeping up. I think if I had been reading it instead of listening to it, it would have been easier. However, the plot moved from two main characters, on two different storylines, and there was no transition between the two when you listen. I got lost several times and had to just bluff my way through until I could pick the storyline back up again.
