“The best of Donald Westlake's pseudonymous thrillers about Parker, the toughest burglar who ever lived. . . .Out of print for years and years, Butcher's Moon is the ultimate Parker novel, best read as an installment in the series as a whole but comprehensible and wholly satisfying on its own.” YearsWholeNovelMoonUltimateSeriesPrintSatisfyingThrillersButchersBurglars Author:Terry Teachout
“I wouldn't care to speculate about what it is in Westlake's psyche that makes him so good at writing about Parker, much less what it is that makes me like the Parker novels so much. Suffice it to say that Stark/Westlake is the cleanest of all noir novelists, a styleless stylist who gets to the point with stupendous economy, hustling you down the path of plot so briskly that you have to read his books a second time to appreciate the elegance and sober wit with which they are written.” WritingBookCareNovelEconomyPathWrittenAppreciateWitNovelistsPlotSoberEleganceHustleStarksNoirStylist Author:Terry Teachout
“Whether early or late, the Parker novels are all superlative literary entertainments.” NovelLateEntertainmentSuperlatives Author:Terry Teachout
