The First Deadly Sin
Lawrence
Sanders
Review by Author Roy Murry
Captain
Edward X. Delaney (Police) vs Daniel Blank (Nut Cake). Both men are consumed by
what they are attempting to accomplish.
Blank’s deviation from his norm kills and loves his victims at the same time because of his love affair with a disturbed woman. Delaney is caught up in administrative bull that leads him to search for Blank outside the regular police channels.
The author uses too much detail in describing each man’s journey – Blank, a psychopath, enjoying his kills, and the Delaney, using everyone to reach his end of bringing Blank to justice.
This turmoil is well-written, but overly psychologically developed. I would have liked a shorter version without all the ‘mumbo jumbo’.
If you like reading a lot of boring police details or a man’s reasons for killing, this book is for you. If not, read a cozy mystery.
