This is the story of Ella and Lucas. Ella is touring Italy with her boyfriend, unaware that her entire family has been murdered, that her father's business dealings are questionable, and that someone is about to attempt to kill her. Lucas is a retired hitman, keeping an eye on Ella as a favour for her father. He saves Ella from her would-be killers, but a complex dance ensues, with Ella determined on revenge, and Lucas equally determined to leave that life behind, to reconnect with his former girlfriend and the daughter he's never known.
For the Dogs (Audible Audio Edition) Kevin Wignall Karen Cass Audible Studios Books
The book started out with a jolt, moving on to develop the characters. That's when it began it's slide towards mediocrity. Luke was downright boring. I would imagine violins playing in my imagination as his character was developed.Ella was interesting in the beginning but in the middle of the story her personality did a 180. She became detestable, killing innocent people, Including children.
The only enjoyable character came at the end of the story with the introduction of Dan Borowski.
For me, I wish I hadn't plowed through it. There will never be enough time to read all of the good books we have to choose from.

For the Dogs (Audible Audio Edition) Kevin Wignall Karen Cass Audible Studios Books Reviews
Treading carefully with her tone, she said, "Lucas?" She caught his eyes in the rearview and felt confident enough to proceed. "Why did you shoot him in the head?"
"He was wearing body armor."
"How do you know?"
"Because he didn't bleed enough when I shot him the first time."
Ella Hatto and Stephen Lucas (FOR THE DOGS)
The above snippet of conversation between Ella and Lucas gives you an idea of what kind of man Lucas is. He's well-read, introspective, dispassionate, and deadly. Too, he is trying to retire from being a "killer for hire" and hoping to live a normal life. The kind of life he could have had with Madeleine, the only woman he has ever truly loved, and the daughter he has never seen.
FOR THE DOGS is interesting in that the reader is drawn into the story and sees the gradual transformation of both Ella and Lucas, the two main characters. He finds what he needs. She gets what she deserves, and more.
This is the first book by Kevin Wignall I've read and will soon begin reading his debut novel PEOPLE DIE. While I am a big fan of Stephen Leather's action packed books, Wignall could become one of my favorite British writers.
This book strangely enough lacked humanity except from Lucas, the hired killer. The character of Ella did not seem well developed-going from tragedy to a complete change whereas the character of Lucas saw growth. There is a lot of violence but not much warmth and emotions, lacked adequate plot development. Left me cold.
Glad I only read a few reviews before I read this book .I enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite Wignall book, but I did appreciate how he handled most of the characters .I did want to keep turning the pages. I went back and read all of the reviews to this date. The reviews have made me aware of how easy it is to spoil the book, for those who haven't read it yet. I'm going to be more careful in the future to reread my review before I submit it. If I wouldn't want to have this information before I read the book, I'm writing Spoiler Alert in the title of my review.
I felt that this book was a lot shorter than the movie led us to believe. The movie can't have been memorable or i don't remember the ending. However the abrupt ending with the plot twist were a nice touch. There is great but short prose as if the author was writing a draft. He intentionally only develops the bare minimum characters required to tell his story.
I wondered why 17 readers highlighted the introduction of the two lead detectives. I realise now that that was the fullest those two characters would be developed. In fact, the law detective is not seen again from that point.
There was allusion to Luke's ability to influence police investigations. That plot line was either unexplored or removed.
All in all this book read like one of those Wikipedia articles that tell you the entire movie but title the section, synopsis. I am glad there is a !love for this book otherwise it would monumentally suck.
I didn't finish this book. I didn't like the back and forth between Ella's situation and Lucas's attempts at redemption with his daughter. Pick a plot and stick to it please! I especially didn't like the way Ella's personality took a turn in seeking revenge. About 2/3 of the way through I skipped through to the end to see what happened. Glad I didn't waste anymore time slogging through it.
How disappointing... a really gripping and riveting first 40 pages or so, then... deadness. Once they arrive in Switzerland the book is basically over. I nearly gave up reading several times, I kept expecting excitement to return, but it never did. The coldness of Ella, the still undeveloped ending explaining why things happened the way they did simply never occurred. I'm not sure it even rates 3 stars. I'm being generous because the beginning was so strong. But how did this get so many 4 and 5 stars?
A very sad story and quite strange. This reader has difficulty with the characters, they are poorly developed and the interactions between them is hazy at best. The "why" we do things is not developed at all. Bizarre.
