3.0 out of 5 stars Good mystery!, May 12, 1999

This review is from: The Tenth Commandment (Paperback)

Not as good as The Sixth Commandment, but still interesting. At times, seemed like too many characters and with 2 story lines going on - got confusing. Again, another likeable male lead character, Joshua Biggs. I think that's my favorite thing about Sanders' books - his descriptions of the characters are so vivid and realistic. Funny one-liners, too. Unlike Sanders' other stories, this one had a moving romance with well-written scenes - usually he doesn't get that "mushy" and I liked it!

Chief Investigator Joshua Bigg works for a prestigious firm of lawyers in New York, looking into suspicious circumstances around any of their cases. An intelligent, well dressed man of 5'3 3/8" (he insistes on the exact measurements), he is drawn into two cases which the firm is handling, the first being the disappearance of a Yale University professor and the second, the apparent suicide of the husband of a well known socialite. He befriends a police detective and the two of them form an alliance which enables them to dig deeper into the motives of a friend of both families, a clergyman who befriends wealthy widows and lines his pockets with their money. It's an amusing, well written story which exposes the many scams of unscrupulous con men who prey on the lonely and bereaved.

This is an excellent book about investigation. Joshua Biggs rapidly increases his knowledge and experience on solving several situations. although this main character is only 5'3 and 3/8", he is big among attorney investigators in New York city. This thrilling book is amazing. I really like this book because the author explains certain situations that many of us would recognize in our own private experiences that we for some reason do not really speak much of.
