Publisher's summary

The young, beautiful, and relentless Lara Cameron has amassed international wealth and power, with equal success in affairs of the heart. But an angry ex-lover has vengeance in mind - a motive that could cost Lara the empire she struggled a lifetime to build. Setting the stage in Scotland and Nova Scotia, maestro of mystery Sydney Sheldon lures his readers down a chain of intrigue through Chicago, New York, London, Rome, and Reno. Hollywood's Roddy McDowall narrates the shocks and turns of Lara's climb from a past she tries to suppress.

Redo needed

Rody McDowell is not a very good book reader and the recording is lower quality than is now routine. The book is pretty good Sheldon.

Good Book

Decent story, keeps the interest. It felt to me like the story was not real believable.

very muffled sound and quite random accents.

At times Scottish, others Irish, this author reads with energy but his Italian American is simply poor, a whisper that barely reaches the earphone. Not the best Sidney but still with some merit

muffled audio

Great Sidney Sheldon story as usual. However the muffled audio somewhat took away from the experience

The audio is mushy

It's a good story. The recording is mushy sounding. It's not because of Roddy McDowall. It's a poor quality recording.
