He started writing novels at the age of fifty. Jun 01, Heena Rathore P. No matter how old the books are, or infact how many times you read them, they really keep you engaged! At the end of the first book she lost her memory and in this book, around a year later, she starts to regain it bit by bit. Some new characters are also introduced and they play a major role in the downfall of Costa.

This book familiarises the reader with the life of our beloved Constantin Demiris past and present and how he pays for all he does. Then she visits a psychiatrist named Alan, who actually plays a small part of our hero. The end is predictable but the way it is written is just amazing. The end of Costa was quite unimaginable! Apr 30, Sifat's Book Kingdom rated it it was amazing. A page turner like rest of the novels of Sidney Sheldon. To Noelle, the lady who sold out him, and Larry, the man who stole her, Demiris brought a chilling retaliation.

While the first was published in , it wasn't until that this sequel was published. And since the first could have easily stood alone, I feel sure the author bowed to reader and publisher demand to provide a follow-up. Often that scenario ends in disaster for the second book but that's not the case here. This is basically a book of double-crossing. I mean everybody double and triple crosses everybody else in t This is the sequel to The Other Side of Midnight and a worthy sequel all round.

I mean everybody double and triple crosses everybody else in this story and so the fun of reading it becomes trying to figure out just how it's going to be done. One of the main characters from the first book is back, Catherine Alexander, but unfortunately, she is the patsy for all the other characters and batted about like a ping pong ball throughout the plot. For those readers of the first book who were left unfulfilled because not all story lines were fully resolved or for those that needed to have justice for the "bad" guys, then this is a must read. Overall a fun book to read.

Tip for anybody wanting to read this book I was thoroughly gripped by this book. Not quite as the first one, but still enjoyable. It seems that each character we meet, we get their back story, which was unnecessary. I wished there was a little more complexity as in the first book.

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Memories of Midnight

Not like anyone's seen her pic in the press from last year's Murder Trial of the Century in his high-profile sprawling conglomerate corporation, c hold his breath and hope she doesn't contact anyone from her past, as any normal person in her situation would do. Because if she does, he'll have to kill that "anyone". One guy who gets a little too close to uncovering the truth--from what Catherine personally tells him, which he fails to connect to said ballyhooed Trial of the Century; apparently HE'S been in a convent--IS murdered on the evil billionaire's orders; an old friend from the States is saved when Catherine decides against phoning him.

Thank goodness she doesn't call an old college buddy who might spread the exciting news; Demiris would have had to wipe out the whole sorority. Sorry, but given this preposterous premise, it's really irrelevant to discuss whether the book is, in "literary" terms, good or bad is it a spoiler to tell you it's rotten? I swiped this thing from the reading room of the convalescent hospital where my elderly mother was a patient.

It is the only book I've ever stolen that I returned. Saya salut sama Sidney Sheldon. Saya salut sama Constantin Demiris.

Para wanita tentunya ingin turut merasakan hebatnya berpetualang menjelajah dunia dan menjadi orang hebat yang selalu dicerminkan dalam-karya-karyanya daripada hanya diam di rumah sambil berpikir "akan masak apa kita hari ini? Jan 25, Anish rated it liked it. I had no idea that this book had a prequel until I finished it. This worked pretty much well as a standalone as well. This is my second Sheldon book after Doomsday Conspiracy so I naturally had my expectations high.

The first few chapters were intriguing but Catherine Alexander was annoying as she did not have the least interest to know about her past but too desperate for sex. Constantin Demiris was great as the egoistic and arrogant billionaire who wore a charming face as a mask. Other charact I had no idea that this book had a prequel until I finished it.

Some twists were decent enough and Sheldon used his knowledge about criminals and gave an excellent portrayal of them.

But this doesn't guarantee a five star rating. Towards the end twists turned out to be predictable and sometimes mediocre. Climax was simply horrible. Some people seemed to have a liking for the 'Vintage' Sheldon but this is just the average thriller book you'll get to read.

Meanwhile, Catherine finds a good friend in Kirk Reynolds, who is in love with her and wants to marry her, although Catherine is a bit reluctant. She confides in him that her husband and his mistress attempted to kill her and were executed for it. Kirk reassures her by saying that, from the little he knows about Greek law, he is confident that their law doesn't sentence anyone to death on account of attempted murder.

Still, he will make sure by asking one of his acquaintances, Peter Demonides. Within a day of relating Catherine's story to Peter, he dies.

In the meantime, Spyros tries to destroy Costa by narrating this incident to a drug dealer, Tony Rizzoli, and advises him to trick Costa into taking one of his drug shipments to USA. But Constantin Demiris kills Tony, destroys his shipment, and then threatens Spyros by telling him that he will destroy him but will first take care of his sister. When Spyros tells this to Melina, she assures him by saying that she can take care of herself.

Her brother's house is attacked but he and his wife survive the attack. This is when she becomes confident that Costa wants to destroy them. Hence, she kills herself and fakes it so that it seems that Constantin Demiris murdered her. Meanwhile, Costa has ordered the killing of Catherine Alexander. Costa gets arrested for the murder of his wife. The only one who can save him is Sypros Lambrou, who can give an alibi for the time of the murder, but won't do so as he detests Constantin Demiris and wants him dead.

This is when Napoleon Chotas makes a reappearance, crippled and in a wheelchair, after mysteriously surviving the fire that burned his house.

The Memory of Midnight

He fights the case of Constantine Demiris. He convinces Spyros into giving testimony for Costa, arguing that, instead of having him dead, it will be better if he forces him to live in poverty. This would be achieved by Costa transferring all the assets of his company to Spyros in return for Spyros' testimony. On the other hand, Costa and Chotas have already planned that the assets of Costa's company will first be shifted to a firm owned by Napoleon Chotas, so that Spyros will get nothing.
