Windmills of the Gods by Sidney Sheldon

3.0

Mary Ashley, a university professor attached to Romania, receives an unexpected offer from the US President himself – an ambassadorship. Surprisingly, she turns it down, prioritizing her husband's medical practice and their family life over the intriguing opportunity. However, tragedy strikes when her husband mysteriously dies, leaving her with no choice but to accept the ambassadorship.

While the beginning might seem a bit slow-paced, it serves the purpose of introducing political nuances to those unfamiliar with the subject. The plot, however, is a rollercoaster of complexity, filled with numerous twists and turns. Just when you think you've figured out the culprit, a surprising twist shakes things up, making it a thrilling and enjoyable read.
