While I usually enjoy a good read from this author, I could not finish this book. ( ) It’s been a while since I’d read Lawrence Sanders so I decided to try his first novel, originally published in 1969, and I have to admit I had my doubts: a novel told entirely through the transcripts of various wiretaps? I had forgotten that this man was a master of the form. A slow start while setting up the concept and characters, but quite satisfying from then on. Makes me glad there are other Sanders novels I haven’t read. I'm a big Sanders fan, but was leery of this book (his first), which is written almost entirely in the format of transcriptions of secretly-taped conversations. I should have had more faith. It's riveting, a real page-turner with many distinctive characters and most chapters running only a couple of pages. While this book marks the first appearance of Captain Edward X. Delaney, he doesn't turn up until page 262 of 325. Not that he doesn't make an impression nonetheless. But be aware that Delaney is not the main character of The Anderson Tapes, as he is in the Deadly Sins books. Highly recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
