Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Leonard is better at dialogue than anybody else on the block…Split Images is prodigal in its gifts of language and plot…Mr. Leonard is incapable of cheating the reader.”  New York Times
“Since 1974, Elmore Leonard has been writing unusually well-crafted books…Split Images is as good as its predecessors…What sets Mr. Leonard’s books apart is his refusal to take the easy way out. His plotting is careful, he almost always avoids the clichés of the genre and he can write believable dialogue.”  New York Times Book Review
“Loaded with suspense, violence, and sex. You really ought to read Leonard’s Split Images.”  Los Angeles Times Magazine
“Lovely...Skillful...Scarily witty...Leonard is working at the peak of his form.”  Village Voice
