The Intern's Handbook

A Thriller

De: Shane Kuhn

Narrado por: Pete Simonelli

John Lago is a hitman. He has some rules for you. And he’s about to break every single one.

John Lago is a very bad guy. But he’s the very best at what he does. And what he does is infiltrate top-level companies and assassinate crooked executives while disguised as an intern.

Interns are invisible. That’s the secret behind HR, Inc., the elite “placement agency” that doubles as a network of assassins for hire who take down high-profile targets that wouldn’t be able to remember an intern’s name if their lives depended on it.

At the ripe old age of almost 25, John Lago is already New York City’s most successful hit man. He’s also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking 80 hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work actual employees are too lazy to do. He was hired to assassinate one of the firm’s heavily guarded partners. His internship provides the perfect cover, enabling him to gather intel and gain access to pull off a clean, untraceable hit.

Part confessional, part DIY manual, The Intern’s Handbook chronicles John’s final assignment, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughest - and sexiest - adversary he’s ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent assigned to take down the same law partner he’s been assigned to kill.

Great to get lost in

The subject matter leaves little to the imagination so the narrator tells of 'his lifestyle' with serious clarity and reminiscent humor. Very relatable characters too.

Good fun!

This was a thoroughly entertaining book with a snappy pace and plenty of interesting turns. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Wonderful Plot Twists!

This book features “never saw that coming” plot twists. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and highly recommend this book.

Clever premise -- a little grisly at times

I picked this up for the premise -- love the concept. The execution (pun intended) was a little intense for this reader. Nonetheless, I recommend this book -- good narration and story moves along quickly. Good ending -- didn't see it coming.

Fast moving fun .

Li stening to this book while sewing made the time fly. The story moved. Not a comfortable tale, nor for the squeamish, but kept my interest. The reader did a good job with the characters, bringing them to life and giving them voice. Enjoyable.

Overall terrific

Great book. Smart read. Highly recommend this. Am Looking forward to more Shane Kuhn books .

Wonderful book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I just loved this book. It was funny and the narration was great.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Intern's Handbook?

I love the way it was written. Very chatty with lots of asides. Can't wait for Kuhn's next book.

Have you listened to any of Pete Simonelli’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I would like to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Made me laugh a lot.

Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am!

Awesome story; fast paced, action packed with a few chuckles tossed in to lighten things up.

If you like Josh Bazell, are a fan of Elmore Leonard or maybe just want to take a walk on the wild side then this is the book for you - Enjoy

An intimate thrill ride

With a little taste of a dozen action movies, The Intern's Handbook is seasoned with wry humor, gritty action and a great ending. Loved the cliffhanger at the very end!

Trite

Ugh! Are there any remaining cliche not in this book? This is comic book fare
