I just finished Lawrence Sanders's first bestseller 'First deadly sin".
It was a real Yawn inducing novel, at 600 pages, it goes on and on.
It is a police procedural about a serial killer and the cop trying to catch him.The serial killer pov has lots of pseudo philosophical drivel. The identity of the killer is known to the cop by the 300th page. the novel goes on for another 300 pages!
It was written in 1972, These days we have short chapters with not more than a few pages.
I heard Lawrenc e Sanders other novels are better have you guys any idea?

It is also interesting to compare novels written in 70s and in the 90s.The present novels are fast reads
