El Capricho de los Dioses

The story's backdrop feels so authentic and tense—I'm curious whether real events or places influenced Sidney Sheldon's choices or if it was purely imagined.

The romance adds a nice touch but seemed to develop quickly—do others think it complements the thriller or distracts from the main plot?

The pacing kept me on edge but also made me empathize deeply with the characters' personal struggles. Was this intentional in his writing style?
