Best Book I've Read All Year - Mysterious and Deadly
I recommend this book highly.
It seemed so innocent. A totally disgraced British colonel Scott sends a mysterious letter to his one and only son. The moment young 17 year old Adam Scott opens the yellowing and fragile envelope, he sets into motion a deadly chain of events that threatens to shake the very foundations and pilars of the free world.
Within days, Adam's lover is brutally ...

Good short stories!
The 12 stories were all good but I specially liked the first (the Perfect Murther) and the last stories (Cristina Rosenthal, which made me cry).

False Impression20 reviews
Jeffrey Archer
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006
I am greatly impressed
Archer at his best. Great descriptions of English aristocratic living, Japanese customs and the great drama of New York on 9/11. I thoroughly enjoyed this story of murder, detection, romance and financial chicanery to say nothing of the art interest. Once started it is very hard to put down. Why do the media pan Archer? I think it is envy. He writes and makes millions while the hacks merely ...

The Prodigal Daughter35 reviews
Jeffrey Archer
Pocket, 1983
A great read
In November of 1985 when I was seven years old my fatherwas watching a mini series (remember those people) on CBS. It was Kane and Abel and after watching it for the last 22 years I have been fasinatied with that story. I did not know until 2006 that it was a book so I bought it and its sequel. I loved the Prodigal daughter although I do have some things I would have done differently. I for one ...

FIRST AMONG EQUALS26 reviews
Jeffrey Archer
Pocket Books, 1989
A great political tale
There is the theoretical idea in Westminster Parliamentary systems that all Cabinet ministers are equals, and that the Prime Minister is simply First among Equals, rather than the nearly all-powerful figure most have become (similarly, the Pope as Bishop of Rome is theoretically merely the first among equals of bishops -- see how that works?). In fact, the office of the Prime Minister is a ...

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (Coronet Books)66 reviews
Jeffrey Archer
Coronet Books, 1980
Fast and very readable
I recently found a copy of Jeffrey Archer's first book in an Op-Shop and nearly passed it by..it was an old and battered original paperback, and was convinced that I'd read it 30 years ago when it was first published. Flicking through it, it dawned on me that I'd only THOUGHT I'd read it and was delighted to start on it at once, and what a super read it is! It's in the fresh language of a new ...

Murdoch and Maxwell,
Another excellent Archer offering. I was well into it before I realised the two main characters are based on Murdoch and Maxwell. It is an excellenty told tale. One wonders what the Dirty Digger thinks of it if he has read it. Archer is a great story teller who keeps the reader gripped.

Best Prison Diary Ever
While passing through the airport in London two years ago I had a six hour layover and decided to look around the bookstore where I found a book called "Prisoner FF8282" by some author named Jeffrey Archer.
Since I speak english (American) and am not English I did not know who this Sir Archer is or was. I, however, purchased the book, and, proceeded up to the BA business lounge where I ...

False Impression63 reviews
Jeffrey Archer
St. Martin's Press, 2006
No stone left unturned in this thriller
This is a superb classic thriller that offers unsurpassed insight as well as foresight in human passions and foibles in this jittery post 9/11 era. His description of bad acts and bad thoughts are so real, palpable and gripping albeit a bit unreadable at times and yet his noble spirit of statesmanship shines through as I read passages like [he] is straight from "the Bronx to ... Brooks Brothers" ...

TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT 26 reviews
JEFFREY ARCHER
HARPER COLLINS, 2000
A Short Story! - A Long Night!
I have been a fan of short stories for a while. Mainly because they are digestible and accomplishable in a short sitting. These stories are very well written. Just when you adapt to a storyline, something changes and you stumble down another path. You do physically smirk to yourself at the outcome of a story and I find this work by Jeffrey Archer very enjoyable, though I have yet to read more of ...

A QUIVER FULL OF ARROWS9 reviews
JEFFREY ARCHER
CORONET BOOKS, 1981
TERRIFIC NARRATIVE PERFORMANCE
Versatile, popular, and appealing British actor Marvin Jarvis has produced and narrated a number of books in the U.K. Recently, he came across the pond to narrate audiobooks - it's about time! His reading of "A Quiver Full of Arrows" is on point. Of course, you need a bit of a British accent, which he has as well as the ability to deliver Archer's absorbing plots with style and skill. Long ...
