Good story, but… lots to keep up with. So busy, unnecessary graphics … ( )

Em A herdeira, de Sidney Sheldon, os rastros da misteriosa morte do empresário Sam Roffe perturbam a vida de sua filha Elizabeth. Após uma série de atitudes suspeitas entre as pessoas ligadas à empresa, é preciso ficar atento aos olhares interessados na fortuna da segunda maior companhia farmacêutica do mundo. A empresa Roffe & Filhos, presente em todas as partes do globo, compreende uma dinastia de muitos milhões de dólares. A capacidade de fundar e administrar esse império empresarial fez com que Sam Roffe ficasse reconhecido mundialmente como um competente homem de negócios. No entanto, sua inesperada e misteriosa morte, somada à crise financeira enfrentada pela companhia, gera uma reviravolta no comportamento de pessoas até então confiáveis. Sempre dinâmico e bem disposto, Sam jamais poderia prever que precisaria de um sucessor tão cedo. E como exigia que os diretores e acionistas da empresa se restringissem aos membros da família, naturalmente sua filha Elizabeth assume a presidência. Porém, a herdeira não imagina que essa decisão pode lhe custar caro. Em meio a essa trama de paixões e conspirações, é necessário mudar as regras, nem que, para isso, seja preciso lançar mão de recursos ilegítimos, inclusive sabotagens e assassinatos.

Although brilliantly written, it was predictable at times. ( )

Nueva York, Buenos Aires, París, Londres, Zurich, Roma. Las grandes capitales del mundo son el escenario de esta gran novela de Sidney Sheldon.
Al morir uno de los hombres más ricos y poderosos del mundo, su hija Elizabeth debe asumir una inesperada responsabilidad: dirigir la gigantesca empresa familiar de especialidades medicinales. Alguien quiere destruirla y está dispuesto a todo para conseguirlo. Y cada uno de los miembros de la familia parecería tener motivos suficientes para ser sospechoso

We all dream of inheriting a vast fortune somehow, but this heritage comes with an invisible enemy for Elizabeth Roffe. After her father's mysterious death, inheriting Roffe Industries, things begin to happen that convince Elizabeth that someone, or some individuals, is trying to take over her fortune-even if it means taking her life. Very nice read which is full of suspense and thriller.
