Praise for Trust Me:
“Leonard’s second effort establishes him as a genuinely gifted storyteller. Although the book is similar in many ways to the hard-edged, witty, character-driven novels of Leonard’s father, Elmore, it has its own voice and its own stylistic flourishes….In time, if you find yourself referring to ‘that really cool mystery writer, Leonard,’ you might have to explain which one you’re talking about.” –Booklist
""There are many carefully crafted plot twists and unexpected scenes; Leonard's action-packed, fast-paced crime novel is virtually impossible to put down."" --Lansing State Journal
""Take three deep breaths, exhale slowly, pause, take a deeper breath then open this book. Trust me--you need controlled breathing to get you through Peter Leonard's rollicking thriller. Breathtaking is a reviewer's cliche. But it is simply the best way to describe the pace of Leonard's latest offering."" --The Washington Times
“The dialogue rings pitch-perfect, the pacing of the plot approaches perfection…So far, Trust Me ranks as thriller of the year. Trust me.” –St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Missouri)
