And who didn't smile when Hannibal walked away at the end of Silence of the Lambs? I wouldn't want it to happen in real life, but a well-written bad guy who gets away with it can make for good reading.Earl Staggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349667172813175960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999752843311959295.post-25156488086015137052012-08-29T17:23:16.927-05:002012-08-29T17:23:16.927-05:00That's OK, Terry.

The truth is, I didn't even think about him when writing this post! How could I forget that? Like Kaye, I'm not familar with Parrish, but I'll have to look into his books.

But he has this aged mum who needs a hip replacement and refuses to use the National Health.... <br /><br />Then there's Donald E. Westlake's Dortmunder books about a hapless burgler and his screwball buddies. We're always glad to see Dortmunder get away with ... well, with ANYTHING, it seems so unlikely. heh!<br /><br />Good post. Good questions.
