Eyes Closed Tight door Peter Leonard
Mystery
All He Saw Was the Girl by Peter Leonard
Very fast paced action about a few college aged guys who travel overseases, get in trouble while attending college there.
End up in prison for a few days and because of one of the boys father career they are released.
Women play a big part in the plot as well as Mafia and gangs. Mistaken kidnapping and so many more events shape this into a great read.
Would make a really cool movie as there is so much action. Love the locations as they are decrsibed in every detail so you know exactly what corner of the street they are at.
So many scenarios take place, great read.
Received this review copy from The Story Plant and this is my honest opinion.… (meer)

Eyes Closed Tight by Peter Leonard is an intriguing and fast faced mystery. This well-plotted novel's lead protagonist is a retired homicide detective from Detroit who now owns a motel in FL.
O'Clair's discovery of a corpse on the beach is eerily similar to a case he worked on back in Detroit, but the killer was caught and convicted. However the current death is too similar to the previous killings to ignore, so O'Clair joins forces with Holland, the detective assigned to the case, and when another body turns up, O'Clair returns to Detroit to take closer look at the previous murders. Just as he begins closing in on the killer, someone he loves is threatened and O'Clair is soon in a race against time to capture the murderer before he/she kills again.
Eyes Closed Tight is an intricately plotted story that is told from multiple points of views. Some of the perspective switches are a little confusing at first but become easier to follow as the novel progresses. The closed case is revealed through flashbacks that provide an in-depth look into the previous investigation and subsequent arrest. Newly discovered information offers vital clues about the killer's possible identity but additional evidence clouds the investigation.
Eyes Closed Tight is full of suspense from beginning to end and Peter Leonard's clever storyline keeps the action moving at a brisk pace. The cast of characters is well-drawn and the good guys are extremely likable. The killer's identity is well-disguised and a brilliant plot twist late in the novel completely caught me off guard. An alarming deadline drives the novel to a thrilling and dramatic conclusion.… (meer)

Elmore Leonard's son Peter tells a good tale here. His characters are as well fleshed out as the old man's, and the plot was sufficiently convoluted to hold my interest. Where he gets carried away, however, is in his striving for authenticity of place. When describing a chase scene through Birmingham MI (where Peter grew up and not far from places where I've lived since 1986), it's not only superfluous but distracting to trace the route street by street. Give it a break, guy.
