Review title: Another Disappointing Leonard Novel
Product review: Humorous mysteries and fantasies can provide wonderful laugh-aloud reading, and I especially like the ones with a serious undertone (Elizabeth Peters' "Amelia Peabody" adventures, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, and so on). I keep hearing that Elmore Leonard writes them, but he doesn't. This novel hasn't a single saving grace. I often donate my used mysteries to church for resale--but not this one. If you enjoy a cast of entirely conscienceless, immoral characters, a stultifying plot, and an easy-to-spot solution, be my guest. But if you enjoy a good mystery (and there are plenty of good ones out there), you shouldn't bother with this book.
