4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting mystery!, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This is the third Lawrence Sanders book I've read and I enjoyed it. The investigator is a likeable guy, the story is suspenseful and the characters are very real. Most of Sanders' lead characters have a cheeky, kind of sarcastic/funny way about them that's drawing me to his writing. Humor and suspense - a rare combination that is refreshing. Some of the medical terminology was too detailed, but otherwise a good, quick read.

4.0 out of 5 stars See why Sanders rates well, August 21, 2005

By	Skylar Wilson (WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sixth Commandment (Hardcover)

I have read quite a few of the newer Sanders novels and liked them. This was the oldest of his that I've read (copyright 1978). The antagonist is motivated by a subject matter that has been the centerpiece of two new novels I've recently read.

The main character, Samuel Todd, shares some of the same traits as Archie McNalley, another Sanders character in a different series. This story and Todd are a bit darker than McNalley, though. See why Sanders comes by his good reputation by reading this book.
