“Sharp as an ice pick….You will love this excellent book.”—New York Times Book ReviewElmore Leonard is the undisputed master, the “King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times), in the august company of the all-time greats of mystery/noir/crime fiction genre: John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, et al. The creator of such unforgettable classics as Stick, Out of Sight, and Get Shorty… Stick, Out of Sight, and Get Shorty—not to mention the character of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s hit series Justified—Leonard is in fine form with Mr. Paradise. A riveting Detroit-based thriller enlivened by Leonard’s trademark razor-sharp dialogue, Mr. Paradise follows a smart Victoria’s Secret model’s attempt to score big after surviving a double murder in a millionaire’s mansion…with a lonely cop acting as spoiler.

More good stuff from Elmore.
I love any & all of Leonard’s books. They are witty & quirky. “Mr Paradise” was true to form. Would recommend any book by Elmore.
Elmore Leonard is wonderful.
too slow for me
Elmore Leonard is the master of wry analysis of human frailties. In a paucity of words he separates the wise from the fools to the great entertainment of his audience.
He was the best character writer I have ever read. Funny, bizarre, and incredibly entertaining
I could only struggle through ten chapters before I finally threw it away.
As usual, Elmore Leonard continues to be the best dialogue writer I’’ve Ever read. His face-paced story is clever and drily witty. One you can’t put down
Good read. Elmore Leonard gives you real characters.
A quick enjoyable read for Elmore Leonard fans.
Way too much jive talk, hard to figure out what was happening. Quit book in middle, too nonsensical.
Fast paced Elmore Leonard.
This is Elmore Leonard what’s not to like.
I’ve now read a few of his. Good stuff. Different
Leonard is still the best
Love anything by Elmore Leonard!
Probably the most readable and entertaining author I know. I’ve read every on his books I can get my hands on. Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiassen and Donald Westlake are the best casual noir mystery authors I can recommend
Typical outstanding story and characters by Leonard.
I couldn’t put it down.
Read all Leonard books.
