Up In Honey's Room - Tapa dura

Leonard's inimitable stylish narrative brings this collection of bizarre characters together into an entertaining, if slighter than usual tale. (Susanna Yager THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

As usual, Leonard has you really caring about people who, if you met them in real life, you'd run a mile from. It's just brilliant. (Jake Kerridge THE DAILY TELEGRAPH)

while everything is scabrously funny and entertaining, he is still able to incorporate issues of personal morality and commitment. (Barry Forshaw THE DAILY EXPRESS)

Another stunning, relaxed, amusing and exhilarating book from the master of American crime writing. (Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN)

He writes with an exuberance of an author half his age. (Allan Laing THE HERALD)

Leonard is still in great form after more than 40 novels, and UP IN HONEY'S ROOM doesn't disappoint. His seedy wartime Detroit with its twists and double-crosses is brought to life with humour and pace in this exhilarating piece of noir fiction. (Chaz Folkes THE FINANCIAL TIMES)

the dialogue is as imaginative, unpredictable and witty as we have come to expect from Leonard. (Marcel Berlins THE TIMES)

This is a book which is both funny and gritty and of course, impeccably written. (George Byrne THE DUBLIN EVENING HERALD)

a razor-sharp crime novel that will not be surpassed this year. (Hugo Hutchison THE BIG ISSUE)

it's the cracking dialogue that leads and set the pace. (Allan Laing THE HERALD)
