1.0 out of 5 stars NOT AN ORIGINAL STORY, June 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Capital Crimes (Paperback)

This book appears to me to be an almost exact copy of the story of Rasputin. He came from a religious background, faith healer, heavy drinker, seducer of women. Helped the Czar's son who had the same blood disease. Was poisoned, shot then drowned by a close associate of the Czar. This author took the Rasputin story and moved it from Russia to the United States and moved the time frame from the early 1900's to the late 1900's. My rating is low because it appears to me that the author did not give credit for his source of the plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Sanders' Best, January 4, 2000

This review is from: Capital Crimes (Paperback)

Having read 18 of Sanders' books to date, I enjoyed "Capital Crimes" more than most of his works and as much as the "Deadly Sins" series. It moved quickly and was difficult to put down. "Caper" reads in a similar fashion to "Capital Crimes" and I would recommend either book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good., October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Capital Crimes (Paperback)

I'll admit, this is the only book of Sanders that I've read other than the McNally Series (which I love), but I was very dissapointed with this book. The story was dull and the characters lacked wit and personality. Although I'm sure one day I will, this novel has made me disinterested in reading any of his other books.
