Publisher's summary

In this riveting novel, Danielle Steel reveals the dark side of fame and fortune, when a renowned film director confronts an act of unimaginable treachery.

BETRAYAL

At 39, director Tallie Jones is a Hollywood legend, whose award-winning films enjoy both critical and commercial success. With no interest in the glitz of Los Angeles, Tallie centers her life on her work and her devoted inner circle: her family, her producing partner and live-in lover, and her longtime personal assistant and best friend.

As Tallie is in the midst of her most ambitious film yet, small disturbances begin to ripple through her world. An audit reveals troubling discrepancies in the records maintained by Tallie’s trusted accountant. Mysterious receipts hint at activities of which she has no knowledge. Soon it becomes clear that someone close to Tallie has been steadily funneling away enormous amounts of her money. After an escalating series of shattering revelations, Tallie must face the harsh truth behind her seemingly perfect life: that sometimes trust can be the greatest illusion of all.

Redundant!!!

Would you try another book from Danielle Steel and/or Renee Raudman?

Perhaps

What could Danielle Steel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Eliminate the redundancy that appeared throughout the entire book.

How could the performance have been better?

Write new material and don't repeat yourself over and over throughout the entire book!

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Betrayal?

I would have deleted over half the book by removing all of the redundant words and scenes. Then I would have given the unfinished script back to Danielle Steel so that she could write new original material to complete the story..

Any additional comments?

I never write reviews but felt compelled to write this one in case I can spare someone the misery of reading/listening to this book. It was clear to me the author, Danielle Steel, did not have enough original material to write about so she filled the entire book by repeating herself over and over again. It was horrible! I am so sorry I wasted my time and money on this dreadful book!

I love Danielle Steel. Have since the early 80's. I am so sad to write this..but, this book, is so predictable, every next step of the characters was like a boring repetitive next..next...next...all so easy to foresee... .. I stopped listening on my long drive, because I kept predicting, correctly, what would happen...I got through the first hr., then turned it off like an old re-run on T.V. I had seen 8 times., though it was a new book. Maybe for a 14 yr old, this would be a fun chapter book choice.
