Review: Definitely not a must read

I bought this 3 book collection for Kindle because it seemed like a great deal. Admittedly, I was only drawn to Elmore Leonard's writing because I've become a big fan of the TV show "Justified", which draws its main character from Leonard's work.Both "Pronto" and "Riding the Rap" are average novels, at best.  There's not too many characters to keep track of, so both are fairly easy to read. I doubt if anyone will be engrossed enough with either novel enough to "not put down."  At times, each novel has some great dialogue, while at other times, it just seems like the author is trying too hard. I think "Riding the Rap" is the better of the two full-length works here.I'll probably read Leonard's later work "Raylan" soon, and that will probably be the last novel by him that I read.
