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 !!"
Thanks Mr. Sheldon for another sensational book.
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
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
