Title: Sheldon's First Novel is Highly Enjoyable
Review: THE NAKED FACE is Sidney Sheldon's first novel, written in 1970. It wasn't much of a sales success for him, but I really enjoyed it.This novel is a straightforward crime thriller -- someone is trying to kill the main character, a psychologist, and he's trying to figure out who the killer is before he becomes the victim. Is it one of his patients? Is it someone involved with the police? I was surprised by some of the twists in this book.THE NAKED FACE isn't a masterpiece, but it's a fun cat and mouse story that you can read in a few hours. The pacing is pretty fast, and I found THE NAKED FACE more exciting overall than a lot of the contemporary thrillers I read these days.This novel was written over 30 years ago and it admittedly has a dated feel. But overall it's worth your time, especially if you like Sheldon's work.
