Title: One of Leonard's best
Review: I'm a big fan of Elmore Leonard and Rum Punch is one of his best.The plot: Jackie Burke, a down-on-her luck airline attendant is forced to help authorities nail gunrunner Ordell Robbie after she's caught sneaking cash into the country for him. Of course in an Elmore Leonard novel, double crossing is the name of the game and Jackie, with the help of bail bondsman Max Cherry, devises a plan to take the money and run.This novel has everything we come to expect from a Leonard novel. Great dialogue, memorable characters, and a plot full of zigs and zags. The cops are a little shady and the criminals are as likely to kill one another as they are to kill the good guys. Rum Punch is an unpredictable, rollicking ride; sometimes laugh out loud funny, always entertaining. A great read, from cover to cover.
