Loved it!
It started off well, got a little boring midway but again picked up pace towards the end. I absolutely loved the ending. I picked up this book because of the good reviews and I was in a mood to read some suspense novel. It has no suspense but it’s still a page turner. Felt like the Dhoom series was loosely inspired by this book. It’s a fast moving story. Must read if you are a Sidney Sheldon fan.

Flawless read..an exceptionally brilliant work by author
This crime fiction novel belongs to an American author Sidney Sheldon whose work is constantly considered as one of the top ten best selling fiction stories of all time. It is indeed an irresistible supreme piece for readers. The ways he has portrayed the power of femininity, makes one wonder that even today's female authors are lacking to showcase it.This is the story of Tracy Whitney a spectacular, smart, intelligent, computer genius in her mid twenties working with a bank. By the twist of fate she is being framed by a group of people to imprisonment of 15 years for the crime she has not committed. Because of her upper class etiquettes and her favoring fortune she manages to come through her punishment quite early. She comes out with the motive to avenge those people who have destroyed her life.On the way to revenge and her need of well being, she gets involved into deadly con games and becomes unbeatable by the police and detectives.Jeff Steven is a handsome persuasive man matching Tracy's theatrics and a super con who can only stop her.Daniel Cooper is an insurance investigator, a detective; an evil genius who is desperate to get Tracy red handed and led her to destruction.The book constantly keeps one on their toes. Each incidence and theft is going in rhythm and gives a sense of mindfulness. It is written in 1985 and is way ahead of its time. It is an excellent masterpiece that takes one's mind through an exhilarating journey."God will never throw anything at you that you can't handle. Just take it one step at a time."- Sidney Sheldon

Engaging thriller

Amazing Read
Initially, I was skeptical of getting this book because I felt that it would be old style and I might not like it. However, it was an amazing story. It kept me at the edge of my seat throughout.

Meh! No Hooray here.
If you were an avid reader once, that enjoyed literature, poetry and books that impacted your outlook and insight with their literary profoundness.. and later stopped reading for whatever reasons, and now want to revive your reading skills and hence are deliberating if you should pick this book - then do not. This book is shallow in terms of literature or suspense. You can easily sail through the first half of the book where the protagonist deals with the turmoils of her life (PS: there are s***load of loopholes there also) and bamn! the latter second part becomes an utter bore, with just the ramblings of an women and how she and all the main characters continuously succeed at all they plot while the world around them watches in dismay.This book is hardly a good read, I picked it only because am unfamiliar with Sidney's works and this was listed as his best book on Goodreads, Now I only dread about his other works.

Superb plot and superbly written
If there is one thing where Sidney Sheldon stands out from the rest of the thriller authors, then that is the awesome blend of a strong plot and equally strong writing. Sidney takes you around the world with ease that you would think of it all as so natural. The plot is dramatic and you can relate so much with the characters. Tracy's character has been developed so strongly and sharply that it becomes the foundation of the book.Even though I finished the book sometime back, I remember all the characters distinctly and in detail. The twists are rocking and keep you so hooked to the novel. Who could have thought that Tracy's life will turnaround like that. I mean it was just such remote possibility and it took some time to grasp as to what had happened. Her character has been shown to gain strength throughout the book, starting at someone gullible to someone fierce. That is the beauty of Sidney's writing.A super page turner and superbly written.
