Recensione:
"One of the best Westlake novels I've read." --Washington Post
"Sharply written and insightful...a worthy addition to Westlake's lengthy catalogue." --Publishers Weekly
"A tense, compelling story...painfully insightful...[readers will] be hard-pressed to put the book down." --Booklist
"A terrifying sprint for redemption and rescue with the reader kept in agonizing suspense until the literal last page. Not to be missed." --Mystery Scene Magazine
While the subject matter is straight out of more traditional blood-and-guts thriller writing, the themes and characterisation set it apart from its stable mates. Forty-years in the coming, The Comedy is Finished is the classic example of a good thing coming to those that wait. --Book Geeks
