Elmore Leonard is one of my writing heroes. He is a major influence on my own novels. Leonard wrote 45 novels over a sixty year writing career. Almost a novel a year for six decades.

I have been working my way through the list of Elmore Leonard novels. Here is a rank of my favorites. As I read more of his catalog, I will slot them into the list accordingly.
