Sidney Sheldon as Sidney Sheldon. Like any of his novels this too was interesting and finished in one day. Readin Sheldon's novels I found it is just like when you eat peanuts. Once you start you can't stop. Anyways...HE needs help and SHE does her best to help him. thenHe falls in love with her and SHE falls for him too. thenHE asks her to marry him - SHE gives him a happy "YES". - thenOut of the blue...SHE hears that HE married someone else - for the sake of POWER - but man, is he wrong??? - The rest = REVENGE

The real page-turner for non-native speakers of English !!

It's a wonderful reading for people who do not speak English in everyday life. This was my first Sheldon book and I had much more fun with this "Best Laid Plans" than with any other book I had ever read. It's written in plain English, no dictionaries are needed, and a catching story all along the line, so I didn't get bored at all. I would recommend it anyone who wants to feel "Wow, I've got better at English !!"

Another good book from Mr. Sheldon! Thanks for it!

Thanks Mr. Sheldon for another sensational book.

Another blockbuster

This is my second Sheldon novel and without a doubt the best yet. This was a totally believable plot with a surprise ending. I wonder if the author had a crystal ball when he wrote this. So many things happening (that actually did!) I'm sold on Sheldon.This was a quick read and very entertaining

The Author was very good at deceiving you.

This was the first Sydney Sheldon book I have ever read and it won't be the last. The author was always very conspicous at not revealing any clues. I absolutely did not know who the killer was until the very end. It was also exciting to read how Lesley tried to get revenge against her ex-boyfriend for cancelling the engagement, and she assumed he was the killer.Thanks/Cheryl
