Praise for Trust Me

"Elmore Leonard is a tough act to follow, but son Peter is off to a terrific start. TRUST ME is fast, sly and full of twists. Clearly, great storytelling runs in the Leonard family's DNA."
-Carl Hiaasen

"Leonard is his own man, and while he might mine the same mountain as his father, Elmore, he is fully capable of telling his own stories, and telling them well. Trust me."

"Razor-sharp dialogue and a plot that races like a souped-up Mercury Cruiser; from turbocharged start to explosive finish. Brilliant!"
-R.J. Ellory,
author of A Quiet Belief in Angela and A Simple Act ofVengance

"Trust Meis a very cinematic type of novel in the sense that one imagines what it might be like on the big screen, with scenes already playing in the theatre of the imagination. And that would be a couple of hours worth spending in the dark."
-Associated Content

"It was a good book, the fast pace, the many double crosses and triple (sic) crosses, and of course it will have you wondering does she get away with the almost perfect crime of her own money....Only way to find out is to read the book."
-Serendipitous Readings

"This book was a pleasure to read and so refreshing. Mr. Leonard can Trust Me to read his next novel."
-Cheryl's Book Nook (Blog)

"The various entanglements are as unexpected as they are purposeful. Written with ease and sly and wit, trust me and read it. Recommended."
-Spinetingler Magazine

"Just that 'Trust Me' is not your typical suspense novel; the whole world is not hanging by a thread. Yes, lives are affected, some are lost, but the whole story is told with a lightness of tone that is more likely to have the reader grinning than gritting his teeth. Great book. Highly recommended."
-Conservative Monitor

"Do pick it up if you want a fast bracing crime story."
-Books Are My Only Friends

"The dialogue is snappy, and there are quite a few twists and turns before the satisfactory conclusion. I have a feeliing Leonard's going to have a nice long career."
-Bill Crider's Pop Culture Magazine

"Twists jump out from behind many pages which just add to the delight of Trust Me. It's fast paced and with a great ending."
-Book Loons

"There is no way of explaining the plot without giving it away, so suffice it to say that it will prove very entertaining. This is Leonard's second novel and he is on his way to making his dad and his readers very proud of him."
-Book Views by Alan Caruba

"This novel is quick and feisty, and has a lot of quirky characters - fans of mystery and suspense should enjoy it!"
-The Loud Librarians

"Not only will readers devour TRUST ME, but they will want Leoanrd’s next one immediately. He is not one to stand in the shadows of his dad; in fact, he is on pace to make the crime genre his own. It seems that not only the mixture of crime and humor run in the family, but also the idea of characters who could easily step out of the stories, which, for this reviewer, is the best type of writing."
