My first Elmore Leonard. Perhaps I didn’t pick a good one to start with but I was really underwhelmed. Was kind of left questioning what the whole point of the book was by the end. Based on the movie adaptations of his books, I expected hijinx to ensue after getting past what the dusk jacket described in terms of plot. Sadly, there were basically no hijinx to be found in this one.
