Book Description
================

Poster's rant:  This is not Recorded Books' finest hour of audiobook publishing.  The CDs carry the standard info (in this case, misinformation) "Tracks every 3 minutes", yet the tracks are clearly much longer.  Furthermore, the total length on the cover is listed as 7.25 hours, yet there is actually only about 6h 18m of audio.  I have done what checks I could think of short of a full listen to satisfy myself that it's all here.

On the more subjective level, I wouldn't mind if they never used this narrator again, but then, reasonable listeners disagree on such things.


Roommates Kelly and Chloe are enjoying their lives and their downtown 
Detroit loft just fine. Kelly is a Victoria's Secret catalog model. 
Chloe is an escort, until she decides to ditch her varied clientele 
in favor of a steady gig as girlfriend to eighty-four-year-old retired 
lawyer Tony Paradiso, a.k.a. Mr. Paradise.

Evenings at Mr. Paradise's house, there's always an old Michigan football 
game on TV. And when Chloe's around, there's a cheerleader, too, complete 
with pleated skirt and blue-and-gold pompoms. One night Chloe convinces 
Kelly to join in the fun, along with Montez Taylor, Tony's smooth-talking 
right-hand man.

But things go awry and before the end of the evening there will be two 
corpses, two angry hit men, one switch of identity, a safe-deposit box 
full of loot up for grabs, and, fast on the scene, detective Frank Delsa, 
who now has a double homicide -- and a beautiful, willful witness -- 
to add to his already heavy caseload.

With a cool cast, snappy dialogue, and all the twists and turns fans 
crave, Mr. Paradise is Elmore Leonard at home in Detroit and sharper 
than ever.
