Mr. Paradise
Mr. Paradise: A Novel | Elmore Leonard
2 posts | 2 read
In hindsight, lingerie model Kelly Barr realizes it was a very bad idea to accompany her call girl roommate, Chloe, to Tony Paradisos palatial Detroit home. A wealthy eighty-four-year-old exMotor City lawyer, Mr. Paradise enjoys watching old Michigan football games on TV while a sexy companion prances around his bedroom topless in a cheerleader outfit. On this particular night, however, two intruders decide to join the party, leaving Chloe and the old man dead while Kellys off elsewhere with Tonys right-hand man. But just maybe Kelly can walk away from it all with a big score. First she needs to convince the cops shes somebody elseand investigating Detective Frank Delsa, while good-hearted and lonely, is not stupid. That good heart, though, could get him into a lot more trouble than he ever bargained for.

Fewer life lessons here compared to Out of Sight, Rum Punch (aka Jackie Brown), but just as many dumbass criminals and smartass remarks. The highlight in this, as with lots of other Elmore Leonard stories, is the strong, sexy and intelligent female. The type who could get you shot without pulling a gun. Be on her good side or be sorry, fellas. I recommend this book, and Elmore Leonard in general. I must‘ve read 20 of his and never once hit a dud.

Alfoster Damn! You are so right! Love his stuff—always keep me laughing. Haven‘t read this one though so will now!😍 6y

Alfoster Hopefully you‘re at work on another bestseller!! 6y
EricQiao @Alfoster Well that would imply I had a bestseller to begin with. Nah, but I‘m working on something you‘d enjoy, this much I‘m sure. 😉 6y
