Chronicle Supposing Books Tishomingo Blues

Daredevil Dennis Lenahan has brought his act to the Tishomingo Lodge & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi -- diving off an eighty-foot ladder into nine feet of water for the amusement of gamblers, gangsters, and luscious belles. His riskiest feat, however, was witnessing a Dixie-style mob execution while atop his diving platform. Robert Taylor saw the hit also. A blues-loving Detroit hustler touring the Southland in a black Jaguar, Taylor's got his own secret agenda re the "Cornbread Cosa Nostra," and he wants Dennis in on the game. But there's a lot more in Robert Taylor's pocket than a photo of his lynched great-grandfather. And high-diver Dennis could be about to take a long, fatal fall -- right into a mess of hoop skirts, Civil War play-acting ... and more trouble than he ever dreamed possible.

Criticize Based On Books Tishomingo Blues

I find it difficult to relate Elmore Leonard stories to larger universal themes mostly because I'm too damn interested in the story. His characters are constantly entertaining and his plots always have a sense of randomness to them.Tishomingo Blues holds true with this perception with its mixture of backwoods mafia, big city drug dealers, and characters that take risks under the guise of desire. The story is pure entertainment due things that are familiar as well as things that are unfamiliar.

Sometimes I deliberate for much too long over little things.The rating of this book is a good example. I was torn between four and five stars. In the end, whatever ... it's just a book review! So there are the five stars.This was my first Elmore Leonard book. I think. That I remember.Leonard is a good storyteller, and the book was fun. It felt like it was written a couple of decades before the copyright. Something about the language and prose of the author, I guess, made it feel like it was from

Elmore Leonard In MississippiThe Battle of Brices Cross Roads was fought on June 10, 1864, near Baldwin in Northeast Mississippi. The fabled Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest won a sweeping victory over Union forces led by Union Brigadier General Samuel Sturgis. Today Brices Cross Roads is a National Battlefield Site administered by the National Park Service. Although the Confederates won the battle, the result was to prevent Forrest and his troops from threatening Union General William

Kind of low key for Elmore Leonard, good Southern flavored crime story, not much in the way of his usual wacky, over-the-top characters (which is one of the things I love most about Mr. Leonard's work) so I give it 3.5 stars... if it were an unknown writer needing some attention I'd probably round up to 4 stars, but I think the author will survive my 3 star rating with no damage to his career. Dennis Lenahan - a daredevil, high dive champion - takes a job at a small casino in Mississippi. A good

A novel filled with wonderful sleazy low life characters made vivid purely through dialog and very little description. Dennis Lenehan, who talks himself into a job as a show diver at a lodge-casino in Tunica, Misissippi, witnesses a murder one day, while he is sitting atop the 80 foot ladder from where he usually jumps into a 9 foot pool. Robert Taylor, an ambitious hustler staying at the casino, witnesses Dennis witnessing the murder. Robert, who is impressed by Dennis' individualism and

Well, that was fun.Imagine what would happen when the Dixie Mafia meets the Detroit Mob who wish to muscle in on operations, all manipulated by a con man, and dragging an unsuspecting daredevil along the way. Well, if you can't, Elmore Leonard did it for you.This is classic Leonard: tough guys talking tough, some smartarse messing things around, all told with his usual smartarse language. I laughed a lot from the language employed by Leonard to describe the characters (particularly their

Dang this was a good book! A twisted, roll-with-the flow kind of plot, characters you get to know fairly quickly, but not really LIKE, and a simple kind of writing that REALLY tells a story.... It all makes for a very entertaining and enjoyable read.
