The New York Times on THE DEATH OF SWEET MISTER:
Woodrell has achieved near mastery of style: language, plot, characterization and theme mesh with a seamless power ... (The novel) triumphs in the acuity of its psychological insight into the lethal manifestations of incestuous jealousy ....Woodrell is one of the most intense and accomplished practitioners since Jim Thompson. .... If Jim Thompson is dime-store Dostoyevsky, Daniel Woodrell is a less highfalutin Faulkner. (Read the whole NYTimes review HERE)
