Book It – The Third Deadly Sin

This week’s featured book:

The Third Deadly Sin
Author: Lawrence Sanders

Overview:

A bone-chilling thriller about a "Hotel Ripper" stalking New York’s city streets after hours with a Swiss Army knife, and the retired cop named Edward X. Delaney determined to catch the killer.


My Comments:

There was a period where I was zipping through Lawrence Sanders books like mad. His stories are first rate suspense, and the characters come to life in your mind, so it’s easy to get addicted to his writing style. It’s been years since I read one of his novels, but this one still remains my top choice. You will adore the detective and all his quirky habits, but most important, you may find that you even like the killer.

  2. Sounds like a good read - I enjoy movies and books where I'm torn between the good-guys and the villian.

    1. Those are always the best types of stories - where you're torn between good and evil!

    1. If you don't like the killer, you may at least feel a little sympathy... I won't say more; don't want to give anything away!
