“Leonard has written tons of books (over 40) of which some have made it to Hollywood such as Rum Punch, Get Shorty. I can’t recall reading his novels so have travelled back to 1985 to read Glitz (yes a charity shop purchase!)
No doubt he’s a good writer and I like his very typical Chandleresque American thriller/detective style.
As for the novel I’ve forgotten it within a few pages of starting another book, but it’s the pleasure of being immersed in a book for the moment of entertainment why I liked it.
6/10

“This novel has a lot going for it. Very good writing, a book which holds your attention, characters and dialogue which hang together perfectly, and a unique story.
Almost from the first page I was gripped. Who are these people, are they for real? Annette, charismatic Timothy Richardson, Jack and Netty
I want to read whatever the author writes next!
Our book club didn’t all score so highly with some going low and others (like me) high, so the average 6/10 doesn’t do it justice. I score 8/10
