1.0�toiles sur 5 Sanders slipped a bit here., Mars 25 2003

Par Un client

This review is from: Third Deadly Sin (Paperback)

This one may be one of Sanders better books over all, but it isn't quite as good as "The First Deadly Sin" or "The Second Deadly Sin". It is unfortunate Sanders didn't see fit to write about the deadly sins 5, 6 and 7. This shows a lack of foresight on his part. Of the four we do have "The Second Deadly Sin" is probably the best. "The Third Deadly Sin" is a bit tiring but still holds one's interest. And lets face it, Delaney will never be a gourmet cook, but he is wild about sandwiches. Amen brother!

One has to have a stalwart stomach to really enjoy the Delaney series. If you aren't particularly bothered by the rather pathetic attempts at psycoanalysis (which Sanders would have done better to have left out) you will probably really like this novel.

Unlike in "The First Deadly Sin" (pride) and in "The Second Deadly Sin" (covetousness), it is difficult to figure out in "The Third Deadly Sin" exactly which sin Sanders is talking about. I figure it is either envy or anger. My choice would be anger.

5.0�toiles sur 5 How To Lose A Guy In One Date, Mars 3 2003

Par	J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Third Deadly Sin (Paperback)

This is an interesting serial-killer novel, except for the parts involving sandwiches and Zoe Kohler's suitor, Ernest Mittle. The sandwich stuff makes you feel like you're reading transcripts from The Food Channel, and poor little Ernest Mittle is simply too prim and proper for words. By the time you've known him for about five paragraphs, you yearn for him to meet Irene in a hotel bar very soon, and join the ranks of her victims.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A comfort Sanders novel., Janv. 27 2003

Par	"british_bookworm" (Luton, United Kingdom) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Third Deadly Sin (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�toiles sur 5 Super police procedural
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.

This is the third in the Sin series. It is the only one I read. It was so bad I didn't want to read the others. The first two might be good. Read more
