Still no ending?
If my memory serves me correctly this was originally a trilogy, then it became a chronicle, with 5 parts. BUT this book has again been left on a cliff hanger that points to another one in the series, I find this really annoying and doubt that I will bother with the next one as I feel I am being taken for a ride.
However, I did enjoy the book, apart from the overstated hatred and revenge shown by some of the characters, which I find quite unreal. The story was tense and interesting, BUT....... the ending has made me so cross and I am unwilling to wait a year to be left on yet another hook.

The saga continues
Inspector Warwick continues to astound and the complications in Sebastian's life left me wanting more! I don't want to wait another year for more of the Clifton saga!

Fantastic
As always, Clifton Chronicles Book 5 is an awesome book. The narrator is absolutely superb! I have enjoyed, so far, all the books in this set. Looking forward to next installment.

A good yarn
Like so much of Jeffery Archer's writing, this was a compelling story - just don't expect high literature. I'm hooked, so he has achieved his aim!

Pure brilliance
It seems J Archer is turning me into a mature student in History.... His storytelling makes you want to learn more about certain subjects... Wel it does me anyway!
