4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty dern good, Mar 11 2004

By	H. Huggins (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 2nd Deadly Sin (Audio Cassette)

Book 2 in the "Heather reads crime novels" series! And this was a much better experience than my first Patricia Cornwell book. While Patricia Cornwell does forensic mysteries, this one is an old-school whodunit. The characters were well written, and the plot believable. Best of all, unlike Cornwell, I didn't figure out the culprit before the Edward X. Delaney did. And that, my friends, is the mark of a good crime novel.

So a famous New York artist is murdered, and everybody has a motive, opportunity, and will. There is not too much action, it is basically just a story of a detective on the hunt. But it was hard for me to put down, all the same.

One amusing sidenote. This book was obviously written pre-women's lib. The only women are dutiful wives who relish their role. When Delaney makes a comment about how his alcoholic partner goes home to leftovers, his wife immediately sets up a blinddate with her friend...every man needs a warm meal from a sacrificing woman, even alcoholics! Anyway, this was not annoying, just funny. I doubt Sanders would attract too much of a female audience with characters like that these days.

Good read.
