series in paperback and can't wait to dive in.
The archives don't have too much to say about these three
books save for Bill Crider's comment that Muscle for the Wing
may be better than Give Us a Kiss, which is a favorite of
mine.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Rene Shade books, and wish
they were back in print. These novels have a melancholy,
world-weary atmosphere that the authors carries just
excellently throughout.
The later, "country-noir" novels have a harder, less
forgiving edge. To me, the candle of hope that flickers in
the Shade books seems completely extinguished in the later
novels. But Woodrell's writing remains top notch.
