Killshot

One of Elmore Leonard's greatest books KILLSHOT is Elmore Leonard at his very best. The story of a married couple being stalked by two would be killers -- a veteran hit man and an out-of-control punk -- is, like all of Leonard's books, not as interesting for the story as in the way he executes it. Like Hammett and Chandler, Leonard is less concerned with plot than setting, character, detail, texture, and conversation. The typical Leonard book leaves you with multiple unforgettable scenes, dialogue that won't leave your imagination, and images that you can't let go of.I always find myself reading Leonard on two levels. On one level there. "Very good" according to captVery good I'm a big E.L. fan. This was good, fun to read. He gets into the characters and knows how to develope suspense.

Unlike some of his contemporaries, he has maintained his exceptionally high standand for writing fiction.
