Rum Punch
Rum Punch | Elmore Leonard
Ordell Whitebread Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell s profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie and now the aging but still hot flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime loose end that Ordell needs to tie up permanently. Jackie, however, has other options. And with the help of Max Cherry an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process."

QOTD- Favorite crime novel?

Leonard usds a very minimalistic style in his writing, giving just enough detail to get our imagination going. We really don't need page long descriptions of what Miami looks like anyways. We already know.

But why didn't I absolutely love it? Well, i suppose it would be wrong to call this book mainstream, just because it's easy to read, but Leonard clearly isn't trying to make any sort of hard hitting drama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you had the chance to walk off with a half million dollars, would you take it? Jackie Burke, the #kickassheroine of Rum Punch does. An aging flight attendant who launders money for an arms dealer, she faces jail time and concocts a scam to double cross the feds, a comical cast of criminals, and take the loot for herself. This is a story about growing older and starting over. Tarantino's adaptation Jackie Brown is amazing. #seasonsreadings2016
