Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Fred Fitch is gullible. And he is a "mark" (see definition in Publisher Comments). It's as though he has a large green G emblazoned on his forehead--G for Gullible, Get me, or Greenbacks-- you take your pick. For every con artist in New York (and there are plenty!) seems to know and hit up Fred. Fred is the victim of so many con's he actually is on a first-name basis with Bunco Squad cop Jack Reilly. So when Fred suddenly finds himself the recipient of a large bundle of money from his deceased con-artist uncle, Fred is in a fix-- how to safeguard his riches, and even his life... What another author may have turned into a gritty crime novel Westlake masterfully turned into a clever, humorous mystery, winning the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award in 1967. Being a fan of humerous and "cozy" mysteries, AND the daughter of a truly wonderful but truly gullible mother, God save the Mark was a particularly enjoyable read for me.
