Book Reviews of Killshot
Book Review: "IT'S NICE TO BE NICE..."
Summary: 5 Stars
Only Elmore Leonard can humorously dress a maniac, two-bit criminal like Richie Nix in a t-shirt with that kind of statement... and it is Richie that ultimately F*#!'S everything up in Leonard's crazy world of crime. Ritchie meets his match when he tries to roll Armand Degas "The Blackbird,"-- a real hitman, and they come to an agreement at gunpoint to do business together. Their scheme goes south when they encounter the wrong couple: The Colsons. Carmen Colson, the wife, is everything you want out of a female lead: smart, sexy, resourceful. Killshot is highly entertaining like Tishomingo Blues (one of my favorite Elmore Leonard books). Killshot's characters are solid, indelible and always hilarious. Richie Nix's girlfriend's obsession with Elvis Presley and her dialogue with Armand is laugh-out-loud funny. The locations of Killshot spoke to me personally, having grown up in Detroit-- my mother used to live in Algonac and we took trips to Toronto. Leonard, for me, stirred nostalgia from the St. Clair River Drive, Port Huron, Sarnia, the Blue Water Bridge and Selfridge Air National Guard, Harsens Island Ferry, to the 94 Freeway. I recommend Killshot and hope the film holds up to the book.
