Reviews
A Good Story ($21.95; Jun.; 243 pp.; 0-7862-1943-2): The real mystery here is why the gifted and prolific king of crime comedy, in his first collection in 30 years, couldn't find enough new stories for an all-new volume, since over half of the 17 pieces here, some of them gems, are reprinted from The Curious Facts Preceding My Execution and Other Stories (1968). Westlake completists, whose old volume is probably falling apart, will want them all anyway. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
