Chronicle As Books The Bum's Rush (Leo Waterman #3)

Packed with all the outrageous shenanigans that quickly marked Who in Hell is Wanda Fuca? and Cast in Stone as two of the most original mysteries in years, G.M. Ford crafts a devilishly funny and bat-out-of-hell paced novel featuring his smart-aleck yet irrepressible Seattle-based p.i., Leo Waterman.Nobody loves you when you're down and out--except maybe Leo Waterman. As a man who has transformed a gaggle of residentially challenged devotees of cheap alcohol into a crack surveillance team, Leo has a soft spot for society's downtrodden. When a homeless woman says she's the mother of a deceased rock idol, Leo takes it upon himself to investigate the lady's claim, thereby embroiling the Boys, his dissolute deputies, and his own already bruised body in a high speed, life-threatening pursuit of the truth.

Evaluation Of Books The Bum's Rush (Leo Waterman #3)

You will be laughing and smiling all the way to the end.This was the first book I read written by G.M. Ford, loved it. Interesting plot, humour. Also learned couple new words, Patrick Lawlor's reading made it more enjoyable. It's a free book with audio. Leo's "boy" are residentialy challenged and over served at the bars, but they are there to help him. 90's dial up networks and "you got mail" brought me back 20 years.

I have read every speck of fiction written by the man who calls himself GM Ford. Part of it is that he sets a good deal of his work in Seattle, and I was stunned to find him (in one or another of the Leo Waterman books) chasing a villain into my neighborhood, down my street, and when he turned and I read the description of the house in which the body was found, I thought...MY STARS! I KNOW WHICH HOUSE HE MEANS!Okay. That won't happen for most of you. But if you can track down the old Leo

Fun readthe story is very entertaining but best of all is the writing style. GM writes in a sassy, smart, comic , very descriptive way - your picture what he's describing and at the same time it's so funny. the main character is great, with some wonderful, unusual side-kicks.

I really like this author's writing style, he makes the characters believable and likeable. His descriptive style allows you to jump right in and feel like you are a part of the story that is being told.

I love G.M. Ford's books about Leo Waterman. I have visited Seattle so can visualize some of the places he describes. I especially like The Boys who are drunks but love to help Leo solve his cases and would do anything for him.

The Bum's RushAnother good story from Leo and his funny bunch of friends. Really have been enjoying these misadventures but poor Leo sure takes a beating proving a point!

http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/4...A very enjoyable PI tale. It moved quickly & had a bit of humour to it. Leo Waterman is a likeable character, & his army of the residentially-challenged are hard to beat for undercover surveillance. Good reading.
