I have read most of Archer’s books. And some of them are classics like ’Kane & Abel’, ’Prodigal Daughter’, ’Not a penny more, not a penny less’etc. But this one doesn’t measure up. This is one of the very few books I have left incomplete. I found it too dragging.
Since I have read it a long time back, I don’t recall the plot at all. Or maybe it is because it was not good enough to be remembered.
You should not recommend this to anybody who is trying Jeffrey Archer for the first time. He would not pick up another one. And that would be too bad, because he is a terrific writter.
