Pretty lame. When I was younger, I loved Sidney's books, must have been the spicy romantic scenes. The heroine was so wimpy I wished she would have been bumped off in the first 50 pages. If I have another SS in my tbr stack, it will be released into the wild.
The following review is from Amazon:
Right from the beginning of listening to this audio book, I was astounded by how ridiculous the writing was. ("A woman in her FIFTIES with PREMATURELY grey hair". HUH???) Then I got into the plot.
Geez, an entire family of wealthy, philanthropic, high-profile, Kennedy-types is wiped out by "accident" within ONE YEAR, and not only is no one suspicious, but when the heroine dares to question it, is met with skepticism and called a "chicken little". And by experienced journalists yet. One would have thought that a full-fledged government investigation would have been launched after the second "accident".
The protagonist, Dana, follows the story all over the United States, Europe and Russia, with not a single objection from her bosses. Are absences and budgets never a consideration?
As she travels world-wide, her interviews consist of two or three obvious questions, amateurishly phrased and never followed up. Onward to the next country, where this is repeated. This is supposed to be an experienced journalist? I cringed in frustration.
From one plot-hole to another, with one dimensional characters, unbelievable dialogue and a ridiculous, unsatisfying ending, Sheldon once again proves that he is the most over-hyped hack in the English language. Aimed at North America's typical low-brow audience, this book will not disappoint the average reader, who will likely follow it up with one of Danielle Steel's latest literary disasters.
