Title that begins with the letter K
I love Elmore Leonard, but it can be challenging to know what to read from the prolific author! I vaguely recall picking this one up after it was included in a book about books. Married couple Wayne & Carmen Colson are happily living their lives in Michigan when they are caught in a crime involving Carmen's boss & two mismatched yet dangerous criminals. Wayne & Carmen enter Witness Protection
vivastory & are forced to flee to Cape Girardeau, MO but the odd couple villains are bent on finding them. This features all of the trademarks that makes Leonard's books great: crackling dialogue, memorable & frequently oddball characters, tense situations that don't feel implausible. These same trademarks are great source material for movie & tv adaptations & there was a brief renaissance of stellar Leonard adaptations in the mid-90s. 2y
vivastory Get Shorty (Travolta's second best 90s movie), Jackie Brown (underrated Tarantino) & Out of Sight (remains my fave Clooney movie). There is a story that while the cast were filming Justified they would wear bracelets that read WWED; What Would Elmore Do? 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds really good! 2y
