Weigh Up Based On Books The Naked Face

His singularly stand alone novel that had some resemblance of being a proper book. Afterward he found his grove, rather his formula and pretty much stick to it till the end. Though I guess his books are endless quick fun reads. But very by the numbers.

It was nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best First Novel by an American Author.

First, John Hanson, a patient trying to overcome his homosexuality, is murdered. Not long after, Carol Roberts, Stevens' secretary, is

I remember being anxious almost the entire time I was reading this book. I just can't remember the plot. Part of me wants to reread this book, but the other part doesn't want to go back to that dark place. I wonder if this story has stood the test of time? Might be quite tame in comparison to today's serial killer novels.

This book was a HUGE disappointment! Everything about it felt old and dated. The plot, characters, setting were so cheesy and stilted. I also took offense to the author's tone and treatment of minorities. Even the mystery was fairly obvious early on. Bleh!!!

It is not that 'The Naked Face' is a mediocre book at all, there are some instances of exceptional narrative that makes one believe why Sheldon rose to narrative superstardom. On the back cover of the book, the Daily Telegraph commented that 'suspense could hardly be greater', and in many instances I would agree.First of all, I'm not very accustomed to reading books of this sort (mystery, thriller and so on). What that means is that I had no idea who the perpetrator of all the gruesome murders

Hmmm. The first full length modern novel I ever read was a David Baldacci thing about some camel club. And I hated it. So I moved to John Grisham and his legal dramas got tired. In high school, I was introduced to Sidney Sheldon... and a favourite was born.After rereading The Naked Face, I have to say this isn't Sidney at his best. In my opinion, his worst novel was A Stranger In The Mirror followed closely by Doomsday Conspiracy. Naked Face feels more like amateur hour for Sidney's quality.
