Archer exhibits great literary talent along with an ability to ratchet up the suspense. I can't wait to read the last three books in this series.

Another cliffhanger!

Having read most of Archers books, i have found that he has lost his touch a bit. When I think of when Kane and Abel came out and his earlier stuff. The Clifton chronicles is very similar formula to some of this later works. On the plus …

I used to enjoy Archer’s books…but he repeats himself a lot. Foreign Office — check, a few MPs — check, affluent people — check, a few bad guys — check.

Shallow characters and bizarre plot turns. It reminded me of the tv series "Dallas" . Was the author aiming for a TV script?

Loved the first two in this series, liked the third, couldn’t get interested in this. Unfortunately, the storyline became formulaic, and the characters uninteresting for me. Too bad.

The whole series is a great read period. It is one series where I will read it beginning to end again. It would be great to see it is a mini series.

I did not realize this was a number 4 novel in a series. the book was not marked and I usually watch for these kind of things but missed this one. I enjoyed the book but wish I had read the first 3. I am going to finishing reading the…

I find myself more interested in the political aspects of Archer's series than the business ones. I also enjoy reading about the personal lives of the Barrington-Clifton family. Finally Sebastion is growing up, one of the few characters…

Get all the books in the series before you start reading. Excellent stories about a complicated English family. I finally am getting caught up and another one is due out this year. Emma, Harry and Giles. Now their children Jessica and…

I usually cannot put a Jeffrey Archer novel down, but this one I did. I know it is not fair to review a book I didn't finish reading, but I literally lost interest in this story. The plot and character development seemed to drag…

I could wait to read this book and even though it was well written and lots of action I was disappointed. Having stated that I will continue reading the series.

I have enjoyed Archer's work in the past, but I am finding this series slow and more of a soap opera then I like. I think he has done this type of historical family fiction better in other novels.

Super read - can't wait until early 2015 for my "next fix" about the Clifton Chronicles in MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD. 5 Stars!!!!

As a reviewer it is my responsibility not to divulge any of the plots of books I review. This is kind of hard to do with Jeffrey Archer's novels, in particular, the books in the Clifton Chronicles. "Be careful what you wish for" begins…
