A review by jakewritesbooks
Tishomingo Blues by Elmore Leonard

4.0

Update 8/21/17: Re-read this as part of a book challenge to re-read a favorite. Yeah, it's still my favorite Leonard. The third act drags out longer than necessary (worst than I remembered) but the journey to get there is too much fun. This is one I'll go back to time and time again.


Elmore Leonard said this is his favorite book that he's written. It might be my favorite Leonard too. A neat story with wacky but grounded characters trying to get in on the Mississippi drug trade while a man who dives for a living is unwittingly involved. Probably had one character or one plot line too many but otherwise it is very well done. Definitely should be near the top of your list if your a Leonard fan.
