The Fourth Durango by Ross Thomas

4.0

My first Ross Thomas novel. I picked it up because someone in my book group recommended it as in the same realm as Elmore Leonard. It's a similar style story, though it was more about political corruption than just crime, and as a result seems a little sleazier. The writing isn't as pared down as Leonard's, but Thomas has the same tendency to end a scene on a strong line from one of the characters. The humor is similar. If you like Leonard, I'd recommend trying Thomas out. I'll certainly be reading more of his work.
