Bloodline
by Sidney Sheldon
This is the controversial Sheldon novel, because Audrey Hepburn's old ass played a character forty years her junior and the movie tanked!
When we open we're introduced to the Roffes. The family owns Roffe and Sons, which is an international cabal type of company filled with power and money hungry family members desperate to take all of the pie without sharing. When old man Sam Roffe dies "accidentally" being thrown down into what I believe was an elevator shaft or something, his heir apparent Elizabeth inherits the firm and is more fixated on finding out why her father was murdered before the unknown killer kills her. There's Anna, who married Walther and is in a loveless marriage with a man that just wants her family's wealth. There's Helen, who collects more husbands than Erica Kane, and is on to the next marriage to Charles who is robbing her blind. There's Alec, who is a gambling junkie and has a wife that is so cheap she squeezes buffalo nickles to get free poop. There's Simonetta, Ivo's wife who adores her infidelity driven husband who is currently being blackmailed by Donatella, his mistress. Everybody but maybe Elizabeth, is out to get what they came for no matter what, and no matter if they have to get a few people out their way.
This thing reads like an Agatha Christie novel. It's genius the way it's set up. Guarantee you won't see the ending coming.
