Sidney Sheldon once again left me in a sort of a daze for weeks with his uncanny storytelling and proved yet again that no one is better than him at masterminding a crime thriller.
Ashley Patterson is a brainy and gorgeous computer whiz with a cushy job at a fast-growing computer company in Silicon Valley. She is utterly shy, lonely and lives a life that is unfulfilling to her and is absolutely convinced that someone is stalking her.
Toni Prescott and Alette Peters are both co-workers of Ashley, however, the similarities end there.
Toni is a saucy, British vixen with a penchant for internet dating and dancing at discotheques. Alette is an aspiring Italian artist who prefers quiet, dreamy weekends spent in the arms of handsome young painters. Reminiscent of high school, Toni and Alette do their best to keep Ashley out of their cool clique but finds it extremely difficult after a string of murders irrevocably binds their lives together. Toni, Alette and Ashley know virtually nothing about each other until all three women are inexplicably linked into a murder investigation that will lead to one of the most bizarre trials of the century.
The trial itself takes you to such a journey into a person's soul that you keep wondering whether the possibility of such an impossible thing happening is even true or not.
The book itself was a masterpiece work of Sidney Sheldon right from the start until the very end. Check out this 1998 thriller if you want to get your socks knocked off your feet.
Highly Recommended!!!!
Happy Reading!
