"This dandy little thriller was first published in 1960 as The Mercenaries, and it's Westlake at his best. Like the majority of his crime dramas, The Cutie takes place in New York City, a territory Westlake was highly familiar with and used to color his stories with deft, literary strokes…The plot is straightforward and moves at a good clip, allowing readers ample opportunity to collect the clues

"Narrator Thorne brings a youthful confidence to the part. But, it's still strange how Clay is really a cold blooded and murderous thug - Westlake gives him an excellent backstory…The Cutie is fully utterly engaging…[with] Westlake's masterful storytelling. The Cutie is a gritty, fast paced, and well plotted murder mystery with a highly unusual criminal/detective lead."
