Raylan: A Novel Audiobook

Quotes

• “In addition to kinetic storytelling and spot-on dialogue, Leonard has a cool wit…lively, idiosyncratic characters…It becomes clear that Leonard is having fun with the structure of the crime novel, tossing aside the rules of cohesion in favor of keeping his narrative light on its feet, so it can run in unexpected directions. It’s a joy to watch characters from the earlier assignments come back into play.” 

  — New York Times

• “A real corker…Raylan is Leonard’s best of the twenty-first century—good stuff from first page to last…Rat-a-tat banter dominates.” 

  — Los Angeles Times

• “Wonderful…[Leonard] continues to be unpredictable. His plot twists are real twisty, and he eliminates some prime suspects before the book reaches its midpoint, only to come up with equally plausible, equally nasty new ones.” 

  — Washington Times

• “With a practised ease and the craft of more than half a century of novelistic composition, Leonard works like the Picasso of crime fiction…Raylan is as close as it gets to creating the complete illusion of unmediated entertainment on the page.” 

  — San Francisco Chronicle

• “Fast-paced, darkly humorous…[Has] the author’s trademark witty dialogue and adeptness at developing quirky, memorable characters…Readers will want to see more.” 

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Features plenty of Raylan, the fast-drawing, iconoclastic lawman who’s never at a loss for words or bullets…Fans will willingly wolf down [Leonard’s] signature dialogue and delightfully warped characters.”
