5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting tale of swindlers in Florida, August 6, 1998

By	Fred Camfield (Vicksburg, MS USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sullivan's Sting (G.K. Hall Large Print Book Series) (Paperback)

I personally think this is one of Lawrence Sanders best books. It is a cops and robbers type story involving higher class criminals and more sophisticated law enforcement, with only a minimum amount of spilled blood. The story line is really a number of sub-plots that wrap together into an overall plot involving the inter-relationships of the bad guys and a complex sting operation by Federal and local authorities. The novel is well developed and well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cons, Great Read!, January 20, 2004

By	Frank Landers "bkreaderlv" (MA) - See all my reviews

I was surprised by the negative reviews of Sullivan's Sting - it was a terrific read, and I highly recommend it. The plot is basically about a group of people, including members of the police, who are all doing scams on each other in one form or another. I thought the characters were complex and entertaining. Other reviewers didn't care for the ending because Mr. Sanders doesn't take the readers to the final action between the antagonists and protagonists. However, I thought it worked because it is obvious what happens to the characters, and there is a plot point he ties up neatly. His writing reminds of Elmore Leonard and to a lesser extent Carl Hiassen. I had obviously heard of Lawrence Sanders before, but for some reason his books never interested me enough to pick up. I plan to immediately go out and purchase as many of them as I can.
