LaBrava by Elmore Leonard
LaBrava by Elmore LeonardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Main character a typically smart guy, this time a retired Secret Service agent who falls in with a retired movie star in Miami. The usual slimy, stupid crooks of a particular South Florida variety show up, along with a cast of entertaining side characters. The dialog is laugh-out-loud funny, per usual with Leonard. The movie star provides a nice overlay of old Hollywood and insider stuff. I'm thinking the retired star, still incredibly hot and very smart, as a kind of Lisbeth Scott, a sultry bad girl who never got the guy. The plot mirrors one of her movies, natch. A very fun, smart read. Still kicking myself for not getting into Leonard sooner.
