Newspapers have been kind to Vinnie:

Newsday, Aileen Jacobson's column


From Publishers Weekly Starred Review (12/18/06):
Lecard, in his endlessly entertaining debut, shows great skill in pacing and characterization. . . . Lecard's appealing antihero has a distinctive voice reminiscent of Kinky Friedman's detective alter ego. Sure to appeal to Elmore Leonard fans, this first novel augurs a long and successful career for its author.


From Library Journal (11/1/06):
This wacky debut novel is reminiscent of Carl Hiaasen's work but is much darker and grislier. . . . Lecard has great comic timing, truly twisted characters, and a plot just bizarre enough to keep the pages turning. Recommended.
