Terrific’

Gripping as well as human interest. Great character development. Thoroughly enjoyable and hated to have it end.

Old fashioned sleuthing in a moody town

I grew up reading Lawrence Sanders. This story kicked off my drinking career at 14. Seems racially awkward and backward in so many ways re-reading it in 2022 but I still got completely immersed.

EXCELLENT

THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT BY LAWRENCE SANDERS AND NARRATED Y VICTOR BEVINE follows Samuel Todd investigator(snoop) for the Bingham Foundation. The foundation awards grants to scientist,but first, they investigate all aspects of the applicants lives. This is what Samuel Todd is doing. The scientist, Telford Gordon is not pure as the driven snow and Todd finds out. The townspeople are lying for him and killing for him and if Todd doesnt watch out he will be the next victim!


I have been a huge fan of Lawrence Sanders novels and I am very pleased to see audible has put the SIXTH COMMANDMENT on audiobooks. The narrator Victor Bevine does an excellent job reading and bringing the town of Colburn to life. This is a must listen to book for those that like the twisty turns of a mystery .

Disappointing

Love Lawrence Sanders books, but this one dragged on and on with details that never seems to get to the point. After 10 chapters, I could only guess what the plot was. Had to change the bass (removed) and upped the treble just to understand the narrator. It was just plain boring.
