Books like Windmills of the Gods

The pages just flew by and I realized the book was over. However, there was an epilogue that deserved thinking about. Sidney Sheldon is not a perfect writer. But this book of his is so much better than many bestsellers today.The author has used sex, action, and loneliness tropes to great effect here. Windmill of the Gods is slightly dated, but you can treat it like a classic, if you want.The violence in the book is sometimes there, and sometimes it's hinted at. The fate of the evil mastermind is terrible, despite his shenanigans. I won't spoil the story in my review. Read it and be thrilled.
