Editorial Review: Product Description: The bone-chilling story of the "Hotel Ripper" who stalks New York's streets after hours-and the retired cop who must stop him. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Obvious Clue Missed Until Late In The BookIt was a disappointment that with so many detectives on the case, and on the Prime Suspect, they missed obtaining the obvious from one piece of evidence they picked up at a murder scene. Otherwise it was a great book. Rating:  - Sanders slipped a bit here.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! Read More Rating:  - How To Lose A Guy In One DateThis 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. Rating: - A comfort Sanders novel.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 ... Read More Rating: - Super police proceduralMaybe 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. Browse for similar items by category:
