Having
a knack for thrillers? Are you becoming the detective in your novel in hand?
Then the wait is over because “The Silent Widow” is your one stop solution. It
brews a potpourri of suspense, vendetta leaving us in a gamut of bewildered
ecstasy oftentimes, stringed with certain awe. Illustrated by Tilly Bagshawe, Sheldon
the author of eighteen previous best-selling novels – with a demonstrated
records of over 300 million copies and approx. 200 television scripts. Each
holding high accolades in New York Times bestsellers.
Spread
over a rollercoaster ride of forty-one (41) chapters, it deals the negated
topics of drug addictions, underlying crimes for drugs like crokodile , marijuana
et al. in none other than but pivoting it around Mexico City. The novel
reflects a sheer eloquence and lucidity in style with certain anecdotes from
real life happenings.
The
cover of the book appears simple yet mysterious – as the blackened lady
supposedly the “widow” walks into faded sunlight with a shadow of a man
following, the apt use of eeriness. It shows the author's appeal of holding
onto his reader’s attention till the very end. The use of flashbacks, the
repeated suspicion on wrong persons and the secret yet quite unknown relation
of the victims with the protagonist Dr. Nikki Roberts, a psychologist. She
makes her living out of reading people’s minds, a contrast to her own unknown
relation with the fellow victims.
The
story comes to stir when a young American AU pair Charlotte Clancy vanishes
without a trace in Mexico City. About a decade later, Los Angeles is shaken by
the gruesome train of violent murders, where Nikki the common link is
questioned. As the story advances, one after another her clients and dear ones
are murdered, whom the detectives claim was her plan. However, at last the
truth unfolds and to the reader’s astonishment the same detective Goodman tries
to kill her for his promotion and the violent murders were planned by none
other than by a businessman Rodriguez. He with the help of Brandon Grolsch, a
drug addict had executed their heinous plans.
I
personally recommend this book in particular as it held to every promise it
made. Full with thrilled, chilling excitement, it leaves the reader’s mind in a
hullabaloo, while they pass it as a
‘must read'. So what are you waiting for! Dive into this world of horror, fight
your fears and emerge triumphant into the world of truth.. And relive the
detective in yourself.
