Up in Honey's Room

Up in Honey's Room
Author(s): Elmore Leonard

German-born Walter Schoen, now living in Detroit, is a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler. Walter's American wife, Honey Deal, doesn't know he's a German spy, but she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand—it's time for a divorce. Along comes Carl Webster, the hot kid of the Marshals Service. He's looking for a German officer who escaped from a POW camp in Oklahoma. Carl's pretty sure Walter's involved, so Carl gets to know Honey, hoping she'll take him to Walter. Honey likes Carl and doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is to get his man without getting shot. It's Elmore Leonard's world—gritty, funny, and full of surprises.

Review(s):
“Combines everything we love about Leonard’s works--big guns, morally clueless murderers, sexy dames and handsome lawmen. A masterpiece.”
“When you read Elmore Leonard, you enter Mr. Leonard’s world. A trip like that is its own kind of vacation.”
“Reading UP IN HONEY’S ROOM is like dancing with the stars and Elmore Leonard’s the star.”
“Bullets fly, but as with most ELmore Leonard novels, things really move when the dialogue gets going. Grade A.”
“Proof that (Leonard) is at the top of his game.”
“The dialogue flows as fast and smooth as any words ever uttered in the service of a story.”
“Elmore Leonard is still at the top of his game.”
“It’s the cast of characters that makes readers keep turning the pages.”
“Leonard’s writing--line by line--is as sharp as ever.”
“With Dashiell Hammett-type wit (Leonard) has once again created characters who live far beyond their storylines.”
