La descripción del ambiente y el estudio psicológico de los personajes elevan este libro a nivel de los mejores realizados en el género: Coma y los propios bestsellers anteriores del autor. Se mantuvo varios meses en la lista de los libros más vendidos en los EEUU y Europa So what is the seventh commandment? Unless you are Catholic or Lutheran, the seventh commandment is 'You shall not commit adultery.' If you are Catholic or Lutheran, it’s 'You shall not steal', which also works in this storyline. But mainly, the title is referring to adultery. Woven in to all of this adultery (or possible adultery) is a caper involving a jewelry empire and the trading of gold. And greed, and drugs, and a little bit of conning, too. I liked the mystery part of the book, but the adultery stuff rubbed me the wrong way. I actually would have liked to see Dora and police detective John get together, but not when she is supposedly 'happily married'. If the author wanted her to seriously consider cheating on her husband, he should have at least made the husband some sort of scumbag. I think I would have been happy with the adultery being limited to the other players in the story and leave our main character out of it.
Lawrence Sanders calls his new procedural THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT, but the self-indulgent characters in his soap-opera plot smash all ten of the divine laws and indulge in at least six of the seven deadly sins. Pertence à sérieDistinctions
Lawrence Sanders concludes his bestselling Commandment series with a sizzling tale of hot-blooded lust and stone-cold murder Nothing gets by Dora Conti. Her latest case brings the tough-as-nails claims adjuster to the mean streets of New York, where Lewis Starrett, a wealthy society jeweler, has been fatally stabbed. Though the killer was apparently an amateur, there was a lot of power behind the knife's thrust. The victim lived in an eighteen-room duplex on Fifth Avenue with his wife, daughter, son, and daughter-in-law. Conti must look into the lives of this privileged clan before deciding whether to pay out Lewis Starrett's life insurance policy. As it turns out, their family affairs are a seething viper's nest of lust, adultery, and escalating violence. The body count rises--along with Conti's growing desire for burnt-out cop John Wenden.
