Reviews

While he will always face comparisons with his legendary father, Elmore Leonard, the author ("Quiver; Trust Me; Voices of the Dead; All He Saw Was the Girl") continues to establish himself as one of today s better mystery writers. Easily readable in a single sitting, Leonard s fifth novel will appeal to fans of mystery, thrillers, and the Leonard name.
Library Journal
Peter Leonard has that rare ability to totally draw the reader into his story within the space of a few sentences. He has demonstrated it before in his other books, but perhaps never so strongly as in EYES CLOSED TIGHT, his latest and best novel to date.
Bookreporter
The book s pages are crammed with trademark Leonardisms, from realistic dialogue full of rhythm and nuance to cool and colorful characters, quick to action. But it s the characters, their voices, the way they talk and go about their business (we also see the story unfold from the killer s perspective) that propel the reader page after page. Leonard s got a real knack for it, just like his dad.
Toledo Blade
A fast read with enough red herrings and suspenseful twists to keep readers' interest engaged until the surprising conclusion.
