Sidney Sheldon’s Mistress of the Game

Tilly Bagshawe
Harper Collins (2009)
ISBN 9780061728389
Reviewed by Narayan Radhakrishnan for RebeccasReads (8/09)

Sidney Sheldon passed away in 2007. He was the most popular fiction author in this part of the world- and there are several communities and groups devoted to Sidney Sheldon (especially in Orkut). And “Master of the game” was a phenomenal bestseller when it was published in the early Eighties. The saga of the Blackwell family, their rags to riches stories, of venomous deceit and murderous treachery captured the imagination of many a reader and Kate Blackwell became one of the most famous fictional protagonists.

Now the saga continues with the story of Lexi Templeton, daughter of Alexandra Blackwell and the great granddaughter of Kate Blackwell and one of the heiress to Kate’s legacy in Kruger Brent Limited. And also in the race for the coveted post of chairman of Kruger, Brent is Max Webster, Lexi’s cousin, son of Eve Blackwell. Also interested in Kruger Brent…more interested in its downfall is Gabe McGregor a great grand nephew of Jamie McGregor. (For those who came in late Jamie McGregor was Kate’s father and the founder of Kruger Brent). And the Blackwell’s know only one way to success- the underhand way. And that person who plays the game of tricks well will become the Master….or….”Mistress of the Game.”

What follows is spectacular and vintage Sheldon action…Tilly Bagshawe would really make Sidney Sheldon proud and the greatest plus point of this novel is that it reads like a natural continuation to “Master of the Game.” It was just like reading Book II of a big magnum opus. And Ms. Bagshawe if you are reading this…I sure would like to read a sequel to “If Tomorrow Comes.”
