In Glitz, Elmore said he wrote the one guy he didn’t like, the only bad guy he ever wrote. Here’s the thing, though. Elmore’s worst only bad guy is still so entertaining that he rates an exemption to my rule of hating stories about psychopaths.

And trust me, if you are hating Teddy Magyk, there is plenty more here to love.
