A review by sandeestarlite
Leather Maiden by Joe R. Lansdale

3.0

Does everyone in East Texas really have ski masks handy? Kathy H? I got stuck wondering about that factoid early on in the book. Is the weather conducive to such cold weather gear? Seems unlikely with the talk of the heat throughout the rest of the book.
I'm not a huge fan of mysteries but this one was rather well done, an account of a man returning home to rebuild his life after a tour of duty over seas and being fired from a reporting job in Houston. Sometimes the author's command of language was read-out-loud witty and sometimes it fell rather flat.
