Sidney Sheldon’s The Tides of Memory by Tilly Bagshawe

His books are always known for their fantastic plot twists and detailed characters. This new book fits right in with all the rest and most assuredly does not disappoint in any way. The Tides of Memory is a novel that will sweep the reader along on a whirlwind ride through a couple of decades of love and hatred, passion and betrayal, confusion, terror, and murder. The characters are wholly enchanting, and will leave readers captivated. It is a novel that I simply could not put down, not unlike another novel by the same author, Angel of the Dark. Tilly Bagshawe had some very large shoes to fill when the late Sidney Sheldon passed on. But step into them she did, and if I may say, quite admirably so. This book will leave readers begging for more.
