First Sentence: My name is Harry Clifton

This is the second installment in the Clifton Chronicles. As the first one, Only Time Will Tell, it is a true page-turner – if you can say that about an audiobook? It’s a fast-paced read, the plot is full of twists and turns, and ends with a massive cliff hanger, and the characters are neatly divided into good guys and bad guys. And that can be very nice. It was a bit unrealistic from time to time – I won’t say how as it will reveal too much. But if you’re just looking for some good entertainment without making an effort yourself, this is the book for you.

Brilliant storytelling

Only liked the first one but absolutely loved this one. Warning: ends on a cliffhanger and you’ll be obliged to immediately go and download the next in the series.

amazing book :)

i can say it in one word A m a z i n g !

Captivating Read

The characters at the heart of this series are ones in which the reader can identity with at all levels. The way in which the author writes is very appealing. The individual emphasis in layers telling the intertwined stories of the characters. I’ve read two of the series and Archer maintains an interesting story throughout. I can’t wait to start the third book already waiting on my IPad

Super plot

Excellent story line as ever from Jeffrey Archer. Cannot wait to start the next book in the series.

Another cliffhanger

This second book in the seven book series kept the reader entranced & entertained from the opening chapter & left that same reader agog by the last chapter & full of anticipation for Book 3.
Who could fail to be swept along by the histories of the Clifton & Barrington families, the diverse stories of the supporting characters , all set in the historic city of Bristol ?
Eager,y awaiting the next book in this family saga.

Excellent audiobook

There are many reasons why Mr. Archer is such a successful author. This series is but one.

Very good but too short

I really enjoyed it. Almost as good as the first even if a little short

excellent all round wonderful story . just leaves

did get a tired of the last chapter and no definite conclusion....rather a long story
