5.0 out of 5 stars A comfort Sanders novel., January 27, 2003

"british_bookworm" (Luton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Third Deadly Sin (The Deadly Sins Novels) (Paperback)

A strange choice for a comfort readI know, but every now and then I come back to read this book again. The familiarity of Edward X Delaney and his delicious sandwiches. The developement of a killer who you grow to like and feel sorry for, even as she continues her murderous adventures. It does not matter that you know she is a killer, it is not even that important how Delaney catches her, I just the style of Sanders writing in this book. It is not similar in any way to his later McNally series, but the one thing Sanders does fantastically is to create characters you believe in.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Sanders's best book!, January 28, 1999

Bruce A. (Sunny Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Third Deadly Sin (The Deadly Sins Novels) (Paperback)

Even though you find out whodunit in the opening pages, this nvel is riveting. Not only do you get Edward X. Delaney and his sandwiches, you also get a couple of hundred pages from the killer's perspective. Some of Sanders's later works were kind of weak, but this one is superb!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super police procedural, November 28, 2001

Ken Braithwaite (inkster, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Third Deadly Sin (The Deadly Sins Novels) (Paperback)

Maybe Sanders's best book (other choice is First Deadly Sin). Same detective in all the Sin books, but each has a slightly different feel. This is Ed McBain-ish, but (much) better.
