At its head was one of the wealthiest men in the world—a man who has just died in a mysterious accident and left his daughter, Elizabeth, in control of the company. Now as this intelligent, tough, and gorgeous woman dares to save—not sell—Roffe and Sons, she will have to outwit those who secretly want her power ... and the unknown assassin who wants her life.

      I like that this book took off in different directions. There were a few too many characters for my taste.

      This book revolves around the usual “business conspiracy” involving an international Pharmaceutical company, desperate money-hungry family members and one big rule –the shares and stock must be kept only in the family- This story has smartly unravels the stories behind the scene of each family member and sews it into one big cloth of suspense with young Elisabeth Roffe the daughter of the dead head of company, weaving everything in place.I think this book was very exciting and thriller as even at the end of the story I found the “bad guy” quite unexpected as Sidney Sheldon did a great job in hiding any additional hints that would lead to the culprit. Overall, it was a great story especially for those whom enjoy a story where the woman is the main character.I would want to recommend this book to girls at the age of 14 and up as it is quite inspirational for women to be in power but the story line is yet quite complex for children.

      Great plot, travels all over the world and clevely written. A good 'who dunit' with a few twists within the lives within the diffferent characters who play the brothers of Sam the company president, who was killed in a skiing 'accident'. Then the story takes you through the exciting life of Elizabeth who get handed the company to run, but things don't go to plan according to the murderer when she refuses to sell the business and release the shares of the company, so she becomes the next victim. Its quite gripping and kept me interested and intrigued until the very end!
    • 3/5
      All of us dream of somehow inheriting a vast fortune, but for Elizabeth Roffe, this inheritance comes with an invisible enemy. Inheriting Roffe Industries after her father's mysterious death, things start happening that convinces Elizabeth that someone, or some people, are trying to take over her fortune - even if it means taking her life.If the above plot has not moved you yet, then you probably have problems. The first few pages of this book is strongly gripping, forcing you to turn the pages and read it in one sitting. The ugly duckling to graceful swan that is Elizabeth's life is magical and full of beautiful imagery, her relationship with her stoic father very realistic and sympathetic. Fast-paced and dripping with exciting dialogue, this book will lead you on a thrilling roller coaster ride, only to have the ride stop at the top of the highest loop, the operator telling you that the ride is over.What happened to Elizabeth's cousins? To the other characters? I can't believe that a book with so much promise could end so utterly disappointing. Yes, it did solve the mysteries but it just fell flat. The author has created such vivid characters that one would think they would each be given endings befitting their flamboyance. I would have thought that great character development + original plot + sharp dialogue + brilliant author = smashing novel. But I was wrong, glaringly, stupidly wrong. Without giving away a spoiler, I would have thought that the discovery of the bad guy would be more complicated than what happened. It's so disappointing to learn that while guessing whodunit, it turns out, it's not even worth knowing, as this book is hardly worth reading. Flat, flat, flat.Obviously, I am very bitter about the ending, hence the low rating. But bad ending aside, this book is a superb story of maturity, love, wisdom, dysfunctional families, coveted fortunes, and gruesome murders and attempted murders. The author's storytelling is excellent, letting the reader see for him/herself what happens in each chapter, letting the reader feel and not just know, each word's impact in this story. I tried to get past the throng of questions and unresolved issues I had with the ending and the characters, but I just can't. I felt that it ruined the whole book for me. If you can be satisfied with how this turned out, then I admire you. Maybe it's my 'impatient reader' attribute kicking in again.If you're planning to read this book, go ahead. As I say over and over again, preference is relative. What may be dull and flat for me may be the most exciting for another person. After all, I have seen a number of good reviews on this book, I just can't be swayed by other people's opinion. Maybe I'm just a stubborn ox.
