"The Other Side of Midnight" by Sidney Sheldon is a suspenseful tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. It follows Noelle Page, a beautiful actress, who thinks men can be controlled only with her beauty and power but wants vengeance on Lawrence Larry Douglas, the American pilot who abandoned her. She aborts her unborn child in a painful way so that she can keep the revenge within her for years. Larry marries the innocent Catherine, unaware of Noelle’s plans. Noelle allies with her lover, Constantin Demiris, a powerful Greek tycoon, to destroy Larry. Initially she insults Larry and has fallen in love once again . The story unfolds as old lovers reunite and devise a plan to murder Catherine. In the end, Demiris orchestrates Catherine's murder and ensures Noelle and Larry's execution, completing Noelle's tragic revenge in this seat edged courtroom drama.
Bottom line :
No one can guess the happenings on the last 20 pages and that's what make it a gripping thriller. If you open any page randomly and read, you may not know whether Larry is with Noelle or Cath is with Larry or Demiris with Noelle or even Noelle with the singer Phillippe or Director Gautier but end up with reading a 18+ scene for sure.
Recommended audience :
Mystery and Court room drama lovers who are Strictly 18+ since it's double A rated book.
Rating : 9.7 /10 ( esp for the end twist)
