A review by itsmarkyall
Lush Life by Richard Price

4.0

I hesitate to say think but I think Richard Price may have dethrone Elmore Leonard as my favorite author of crime fiction. This book read like an episode of The Wire. Can't say enough about how realistic the characters were and how tangible Price made the city of New York. I feel like I could use this book as a map whenever I visit NYC. His dialogue is spot on and is there among the greats. He may be the best as hard as that is to imagine. Check this book out. It's a fantastic read.
