R.I.P. Donald Westlake

One of my favorite authors, Donald E. Westlake, passed away today. I enjoy mystery novels a great deal; Westlake's very funny Dortmunder series was one of the first mystery series I read. I'll miss him.

I'd recommend all his books, both those in his own name and in his pen name Richard Stark.

He wrote a lot of really good ones, but I'd go with his Dortmunder series. (The last one was called "What's So Funny?"). His Parker books (under the pen name Richard Stark) are really good too. The Ax is another excellent Westlake book--it's very original.
