Elmore Leonard - Two Stars ☆☆
I just finished four of Leonard's novels. I think Agnes Lowzier describes all the characters best: "A half-smart guy, that's what I always draw. Never once a man who's smart all the way around the course." All of Leonard's people are half-smart.

Red Harvest - Dashiell Hammett- Five Stars ☆☆☆☆☆
The Continental Op drops into Poisonville "Hard BoiIed" incarnate. He's angry because they try to kill him and he's disgusted by the lying, backstabbing, double-dealing leaders of the city. His solution: everyone sufferers.
This is Hammett's first novel (1929) and his angriest look at the world. It's worth your time.
George W. Parker
