The premise sounds a bit Lifetime-TV-movie-ish, but that's actually great if you're writing commercial fiction. If you want your novel to be remembered, try to make it as original as possible while still maintaining its suspense. Use lots of imagery instead of just dialogue and plot summary; readers will be pleasantly surprised if they find literary gems in a piece of commercial fiction. Instead of trying to make your novel similar to Sidney Sheldon's work or that of any other author, try to do as much as you can to develop your own unique voice.
