Book Reviews of Dirty Money
Book Review: A softer but still entertaining crime thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Compared to earlier novels in the Parker series like THE HUNTER, SLAYGROUND, THE SOUR LEMON SCORE, BUTCHER'S MOON and even the more recent COMEBACK or BREAKOUT, the last few Richard Stark novels have been of an obviously softer crime narrative. Parker isn't nearly as quick on the trigger and the stories themselves deal more grabbing the money and escaping the cops than grabbing the money, escaping the cops, and the ensuing bloodbath involving all kinds of backstabbing.
DIRTY MONEY is still an enjoyable read, especially for those who aren't quite as familiar with the series as others may be. The best element of the novel is the return of a lady PI working both sides of the fence. She's sharp, knowledgeable, very aware of potential troubles from Parker and his fellow gang members, and she's sassy enough to keep everybody in line. It's my hope that Mr. Westlake will eventually allow her the spotlight of a standalone novel or better yet a whole new series.
