Reviews

Archer is on top form
*Daily Telegraph*

I enjoyed the book and marvelled at both its pace and the imaginative cliffhanger ending, whetting our appetite for volume two
*Sunday Express*

This is a cracker of a read. And quite 'unputdownable'. The whole thing about Jeffrey is that he has always had the knack of producing page-turners
*Spectator*

The ability to tell a story is a great – and unusual – gift . . . [it] is not something that can be taught or acquired. You have it or you don’t . . . Jeffrey Archer is, first and foremost, a storyteller . . . You don’t sell 250 million copies of your books (250 million!) if you can’t keep an audience hooked – and that’s what Archer does, book after book. Archer’s audience will stick with him to the last. They want to know what happens next
