Content descriptions
Summary, etc.: | New York Times bestselling author Tilly Bagshawe, continuing the enduring legacy of #1 bestselling suspense author Sidney Sheldon, is back with a new tale of glamour, suspense, and unexpected twists in Sidney Sheldon's The Silent Widow. A young American au pair, Charlotte Clancy, vanishes without a trace in Mexico City. The case is left cold, but its legacy will be devastating. A decade later, LA is shaken by a spate of violent murders. Psychologist Nikki Roberts is the common link between the victims, her patients at the heart of this treacherous web. When someone makes an attempt on Nikki's life, it's clear she is a marked woman. Nikki makes a living out of reading people, drawing out their secrets, but the key to this shocking pattern eludes her. With the police at a dead end Nikki drafts in Derek Williams, a PI who isn't afraid to put his hand into the hornet's nest. Williams was thwarted in the notorious Charlotte Clancy case all those years ago, but what he unearths in LA--and the mention of one name in particular--leaves him cold, and takes him on a dangerous path into the past. A shadowy manipulator has brought his deadly game to the streets of LA. In a crime spanning generations, it seems Nikki Roberts knows all too much--and a ruthless killer knows the price of her silence. In this crooked city, where enemies and friends are one and the same, Nikki must be the master of her own escape. |

Publishers Weekly Review
Sidney Sheldon's the Silent Widow : A Sidney Sheldon Novel
Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Consulting psychologist Nikki Roberts takes on a host of bad guys-including vicious Russian mobsters, sadistic Mexican criminals, corrupt Los Angeles socialites, and greedy lawyers-in bestseller Bagshawe's overwrought fifth contribution to the Sidney Sheldon franchise (after 2014's Sidney Sheldon's Chasing Tomorrow). When one of Nikki's patients, a 28-year-old former model with an elderly billionaire boyfriend, is tortured and killed after she leaves Nikki's office, the only clue to the perpetrator's identity is a tiny bit of rotting human flesh found under the victim's fingernails. Other murders follow, with the press dubbing them the Zombie Murders. LAPD detectives Goodman and Johnson, who take the concept of good cop/ bad cop to a new level, investigate. In particular, Johnson seems set on pinning the crimes on Nikki. Unfortunately, Nikki so consistently misjudges people and situations that it's difficult to work up sufficient sympathy for her plight or make her professional role credible. Readers will struggle to follow who did what to whom and why. Only Sidney Sheldon buffs are likely to have fun. Agent: Luke Janklow, Janklow & Nesbit. (May) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
