"With a History in Mystery"

"When you want a novel you simply cannot put down, go to Sheldon."
-New York Daily News

            This is merely one of the numerous critical praises received by novelist Sidney Sheldon. More than deserving of his raving reviews, this Bestselling author, though perhaps not widely read by peers our age, has earned an impressive reputation around the globe as a master teller of tales. Almost all his blockbuster novels have been number-one international bestsellers. His first book, The Naked Face, was acclaimed by the New York Times as "the best first mystery of the year" and received an Edgar Award.
            However, some may find Sheldon's novels lacking in depth and sentimentality. Quick- moving and powerful, for readers who prefer a softer touch to stories, Sheldon is perhaps not the best choice. For most, Sheldon's books are engaging and breathtaking. Known as a wizard of words, he can cast an uncanny spell over his readers, reeling them into the story. Moreover, when it comes to concocting plots full of twists, Sheldon has no peers.
            I end this review with a glowing recommendation for Sidney Sheldon. To all who might delight in fast-paced, hypnotic plots, intriguing characters and suspenseful storytelling, go to Sheldon. No second thoughts about it.

Personal Recommendation:

"If Tomorrow Comes"
                                      by Sidney Sheldon.

Introducing his most intriguing heroine and most imaginative plot, If Tomorrow Comes is a delicious tale of the world of con artists, a cunning story of deception and a thrilling depiction of ingenuity. A compelling read.
