About this audiobook
Donald E. Westlake
Donald E. Westlake (1933–2008) was one of the most prolific and talented authors of American crime fiction. He began his career in the late 1950s, churning out novels for pulp houses—often writing as many as four novels a year under various pseudonyms—but soon began publishing under his own name. His most well-known characters were John Dortmunder, an unlucky thief, and a ruthless criminal named Parker. His writing earned him three Edgars and a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Westlake’s cinematic prose and brisk dialogue made his novels attractive to Hollywood, and several motion pictures were made from his books, with stars such as Lee Marvin and Mel Gibson. Westlake wrote several screenplays himself, receiving an Academy Award nomination for his adaptation of The Grifters, Jim Thompson’s noir classic.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A non-Dortmunder story by Donald E. Westlake, "Trust me on this" suffers in comparison to the Dortmunder stories but is still a humorous expose of American tabloid journalism, complete with stereotypical drunken Australian journalists.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Trust Me On This: Different to the last Westlake I read. Written before the demise of the “News Of The World,” yet so synonymous with it's fall it is uncanny. A most enjoyable read and sometimes LOL funny.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like amusing mysteries, and this one is clever and very, very funny. Sara Joslyn begins a reporting job at the Weekly Gazette, where the corpse she discovers on her way to work isn’t newsworthy since the victim isn’t famous. On the other hand getting a “money quote” from a nutritionist stating that potato chips can provide all necessary daily nutrients is a high priority. Join Sara in her squaricle as she enters the fast paced and totally zany world of tabloid journalism—and solves the mystery too.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I thought thst by reading Mr. Weslake's ' Hard Crime ' books I would like this. Not so. The stor was all over the place, the characters ditzy, no cohesiveness at all. Not a book I would recomment.
