The Switch (52)

The Switch
Elmore Leonard

I have reached a milestone! My goal in reading is to read the average of 1 book per week or 52 books per year. So I have reached this goal on 9/1/06 this year. This is a month ahead of the 9/29/05 where I reached 52 books last year.
It is also fitting that my 52nd book this year is a Leonard book, as he is my favorite author. This was a good book, in the classic Leonard style. Takes place in Detroit and the suburbs. This book involves kidnapping a woman to ransom her husband to give up some of the money is is skimming off his business and hiding in an off shore account.
This book has Ordell Robbie and Louis Garza who I am sure show up in another book, as well as Mickey Dawson who also seems familiar. I have started working on documenting Leonards books to see the overlap in the characters, but this will take a while.
