Our view

“If Tomorrow Comes” is a gripping revenge story that turns into a caper novel as Tracy Whitney goes from framed victim to skilled con artist. Sidney Sheldon gives her courage and wit, and some readers cheer her through every heist. Others cannot warm to her and abandon the book early. Heists and a heroine who settles her own scores fill its four hundred-plus pages.
