Publisher's Summary:
Fergus Fletcher is a hit man. For five thousand pounds, he'll kill anyone you want. For seven, he'll frame someone else. Pretending to kill someone is a first, but Alex Pennan has stolen from the mob and needs to fake his own death.
Fergus is looking for love. So is Sam Ireland, a private investigator and part-time bike messenger. But she's got her hands on a very important package and is in a world of trouble with the mob. Joe Pepper, pillar of society and corrupt gangland fixer, will stop at nothing - nothing at all - to intercept the package and protect his reputation.
Can Alex stay dead while his widow dances on his grave? Can Joe save himself before his stomach ulcer explodes? Can Fergus and Sam make it to a second date before Joe hires him to kill her?
Welcome to Glasgow. It's a love story.

Don't give up after chapter one...
I read the first chapter and thought 'uh oh, I may have made a mistake here'....but then I realized what was going on and by the time I finished I was in literary love. I swear I'll read anything Jay Stringer writes in the future, even his laundry list. I also really loved all of the books in his Eoin Miller series, which I read before this one.

Hit men need love too
I didn't realize this was part of a series when I bought it, but it reads perfectly as a standalone story. Initially it was the title that caught my eye, but after both laughing out loud and empathizing with the characters within the first few chapters I was hooked. The pacing of this story is absolutely perfect, never dragging, but not so action-packed as to keep from enjoying the characters. And the characters are what makes this book memorable. Jay Stringer managed to write a hit man that is just inefficient enough to invoke empathy, and so completely human that the only thing separating him from the rest of the regular idiots on your typical dating site is that he kills people for a living. It's a well-executed crime story that is also highly entertaining from start to finish, and that is a rare combination.

Something quite wonderful: kinetic prose, fascinating characters, a tale barmy and brilliant.
Put simply, this is one of my very favourite reads of 2017, of any kind. Stringer was a new-to-me author, though I'd seen his name popping up on various Noir at the Bar and festival events in the UK. So I went into this with an unvarnished mind, with no idea what I might find. The answer was something quite wonderful: kinetic prose, fascinating characters, a tale barmy and brilliant.
How To Kill Friends and Implicate People is a ripsnorter of a read. Taking a step back, it has a slightly implausible hook, yet it just works terrifically thanks to Stringer's storytelling. There's no worries about suspending disbelief, as the reader is sucked into the characters' Glasgow world.
Sam Ireland, bike courier and part-time investigator, returns from Stringer's earlier novel Ways to Die in Glasgow. Her life gets complicated thanks to an unusual package pick-up, a couple of new private eye gigs, and her online dating dalliances with an enigmatic guy named Fergus. Unbeknownst to Sam, Fergus is a professional killer who's own work is entangled with some of what Sam is hired to investigate.
