Absolutely wonderful to step right into the same group of characters readers of this series are already so familiar with and what a series of tightly told interwoven and eventful stories. Archer continues to produce these tales!!!! Thank goodness!!! ( ) In the latest installment, William is still being vexed by Miles Faulkner. After William is promoted, and Beth is offered the job as the director of the Fitzmolean Gallery, they are both involved in schemes where Faulkner is trying to outwit them. William is tasked with protecting the crown jewels from being stolen, and Beth has to reclaim the artwork that Miles has in his NYC apartment and exchange it for the copy hanging in the museum. Their children play a pivotal role in the solving of one of the heists. Always enjoyable to read a Jeffrey Archer novel. Miles Faulkner has returned to London and is vowing revenge on William Warwick, Commander Hawksby and Ross Hogan. This only intensifies as the Rubens painting that he supposedly donated to the Fitzmolean Museum has been swapped for the copy he actually donated. Faulkner hatches a plan to bring them all down by arranging the heist of the century, to steal the Crown. As Britain welcomes in the Blair era the police have a very short time to sort this out. As ever, Archer is the consummate storyteller and this book is no exception. I find these novels rather quaint, not quite cosy crime but definitely an edge of the seats thriller. Everything is quite gentlemanly and dated which fits the late 20th century setting. The period references are perfect and this is another wonderfully fun book. It doesn't challenge but it does entertain. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
