Tell Me Your Dreams

Sidney Sheldon

Average Rating 5/10 (1 Review)

'Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different, faraway world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her. She was trying desperately not to panic, but lately her sleep had been filled with nightmares, and she had awakened each morning with a feeling of impending doom.'

Thus begins Sidney Sheldon's chilling novel, Tell Me Your Dreams. Three beautiful young women are suspected of committing a series of brutal murders. The police make an arrest that leads to one of the most bizarre murder trials of the century. Based on real medical cases, Sheldon's novel races from London to Rome to the city of Quebec to San Francisco, with a climax that will leave reader stunned.

'If you want a novel you simply cannot put down, go to Sheldon.'

Sorry, Sidney, but I don't think that you have done people with mental illnesses any favours with this one. The old stereotype rears its ugly head again, only this time in the form of multiple personality disorder, with one being a murderer born from childhood abuse and with a habit of murdering men who want to have a sexual relationship with the host.

Yawn, sounds like a bad TV movie, and unfortunately reads that way, too. I am sorry, because I do quite like Sidney Sheldon novels, but this one I am afraid, did annoy me. It is similar in some ways to the film with Richard Gere and the psychotic choirboy, who murdered the priest for his abuse and then claimed mental illness. The unfortunate ending of the story only makes it worse.
