2.0 out of 5 stars Sad, Bad, and Mad!, Mar 4 2004
By M. O Schmidt (Columbia Heights, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fourth Deadly Sin (Paperback)
I loved the first three Sins, but this latest entry makes one feel quite relieved that he didn't do any more, but at the same time, one wishes he'd get his act together. Very little suspense, and one of those where you know the murderer the first time they appear. Delaney and friends are wonderful characters, but in this outing they didn't do themselves much credit. Basically it's a 20 page story that is dragged out in tedious detail until you hit a very unsatisfying conclusion. He wimped out and did a Poirot ending. Which I hated, needless to say! I wish he would have not written this book at all, or waited until he could have done a better job. If more sins are committed in the future, I will certainly read them, and hope they are better than this trite, deadly dull outing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indeed a disappointment., May 27 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Fourth Deadly Sin (Paperback)
Sanders became a bit tiring with this last entry in the Delaney series. In fact, he probably should have stopped writing altogether. It is also too bad he didn't see fit to write about sins 5, 6 and 7. If Sanders had reinvented himself and kept his style fresh, this novel would have really shown. But as it is it is only lackluster. But still, it is worth reading. Just be prepared to be accused of being a cult fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, Feb 22 2002
This review is from: Fourth Deadly Sin (Paperback)
First was too detailed and confusing, second one better, smoother on the third, running out of gas by the fourth. OK but not the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
After reading the first 3 deadly sins, and knowing that the 4th was the last one, I was looking forward to reading it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars No shiny fluff here!
I read The Fourth Deadly Sin before I knew of Sins 1-3. I won't let 1-3 go unread. Lawrence Sanders' style of crime prose captivated me first with Anderson Tapes' crime... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars IS THE LAST OF THE DEADLY SINS BOOKS? HOPE NOT!
I wish that Lawrence Sanders would concentrate on the Edward "Iron Balls" Delaney deadly sins series and drop the Archie McNally series which is becoming boring

4.0 out of 5 stars This one was the weakest one in Deadly Sin series
The TOUCH was faded away in this fourth sin. The 1st and the 2nd were the ones that I became so loyal to Sanders until the McNally's BLABBLABBLAB ruined my twenty years focus
