Negative Positive
Title: a competent if unremarkable crime novel
Review: 'Glitz' is actually one of the more enjoyable Elmore Leonard novels I've read. Too often the author gets overly enamored with gangster talk and too many offbeat characters, much to the detriment of the story. In 'Glitz' the story, about a cop chasing down a killer in the shadows of casinos of Atlantic City and San Juan, is fairly tight and believable. The characters are quite vivid and diverse. However ultimately the book has the feel of a good 'Miami Vice' episode; lots of punch but nothing that really lingers in your mind after it's over.Bottom line: certainly an okay read but nothing out of the ordinary.
