Tishomingo blues
Ratings6
Average rating3
Dennis Lenahan is a daredevil and the girls love him. Things are going along okay with his gig at the Tishomingo Lodge & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi, "the Casino Capital of the South," until the day he looks down from the high-dive platform and witnesses a mob hit -- Dixie style. The killer looks up and says, "Let's see you dive." Suddenly, being a daredevil has lost its kick. Leonard calls Tishomingo Blues his best novel yet -- an opinion confirmed by rave reviews from coast to coast for this New York Times bestseller.

Not my favorite Leonard. Too many characters to keep track of, and just kind of an uncompelling story. Still classic Leonard, with great dialogue and great, realized characters, but not his best, nor something I'd recommend to anyone but the Leonard completist.
