Read Mistress of the Game on Amazon Kindle

                                                                                         

Avid book readers, especially Sheldon fans, will be in agreement - that Master of the Game is one of his best works. So ht does not come as a surprise when Tilly Bagshawe, writing as Sidney Sheldon has published a sequel to the epic masterpiece, which all began with Jamie McGregor daringly stealing diamonds in Africa.

Mistress of the Gameis a riveting fare, but is not a patch on the master's fashion, finish and flamboyance. As in the prequel, we were introduced to the scheming, scandalous and sensational Blackwell family. The trend continues and we closely meet the next generation who are as zealous and corrupt as their predecessors.

The stakes are high and among the players maybe the survivors only will be the winner of the game. The prize is mammoth, the ultimate multi-billion dollar international 'Kruger-Brent Ltd'. Unforgettable characters like Jamie McGregor, his daughter Kate Blackwell and her twin grand daughters, bitter rivals though, Eve and Alexandra have stayed fresh in the minds of the readers over two decades. That the author spanned the decades and picked up exactly where the masterpiece finished has to be applauded. This novel is about the younger generation of the rich and powerful Blackwell family.

The paparazzi are always trailing the family for crumbs of scoops which are amply provided by the notoriously scandalous and shocking deeds of the blackwell's. The character sketch of all the Blackwells is shockingly a deep black.

The novel has all the ingredients of page-turner. There are secret murders, kidnapping, molestation, addiction, fraud, love, passion, jealousy and betrayl. The two leading characters, Lexi and Max, are well-etched but appear superficial and lacking in substance.

Glamorous and on the edge 'Mistress' is quintessentially a leisure read. There are disjointed the zones which stifle the speed throught and cause the connection to the characters to unlink. Things slow down when least expected, and some of the characters are distinctly diverse and difficult to assimilate even as expectations are much more from them. A glaring example is Peter Templeton. The novel lacks the Sidney Sheldon touch, the precise and mesmerising twists, but nonetheless Tilly Bagshawe manages to recreate the Sidney Sheldon magic, though strictly in bits and parts.
