Meh. It's another cliched rich man drowns, or did he, and then a mysterious kid comes into the picture claiming to be an heir that has to prove their legit and entitled to the big money payout piece. Nothing about it will catch you by surprise, the who done its will make Scooby Doo frustrated, and the novel really reads more like a first draft snooze fest. Skip. ( )

Rather amusing book about greed, corruption and manipulation. ( )

It's not my favorite Sidney Sheldon novel ("Master of the Game " holds that honor) but it's still a good story. A wealthy family with a lot of skeletons, a hated patriarch, a billion dollar inheritance, an illegitimate heiress, plus criminals, drug dealers, a carefully planned deception that spirals, good guys to the rescue and other assorted melodrama, make for entertaining reading.

Just finished reading it. An ok page turner. ( )

Another excellent Sheldon page turner, one of the world's wealthiest men dies leaving behind a billion dollar estate. Following the funeral a woman turns up claiming to be the illegitimate child and entitled to a portion of the estate.

Typical of a Sheldon novel there is layers of detail and numerous twists.
