A man goes to Saudi Arabia to assist the British Government and is framed for murder. Meanwhile William Warwick's arch nemesis Miles Faulkner is released from jail, determined to destroy Warwick and his wife. As Warwick tries to juggle family and increased responsibility he becomes aware that Faulkner is trying to make a lot of money and the whole thing is linked to the Saudis. Now there is a race to save a man's life.
I do really enjoy these Archer novels about William Warwick but I am concerned that I don't see them as others see them! To my mind these books are nice recent timeframe period romps, not too violent, and quite witty. I don't see them as high octane thrillers. Anyway, that shouldn't matter because they sit perfectly in a place that works for me.

This was my first William Warwick novel and indeed, my first Jeffrey Archer read! I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I enjoyed it. Fast paced and filled with an interesting plot and great characters, this was definitely a page turner. I would read more Archer novels for sure.

It’s always an absolute pleasure to read a Jeffrey Archer book. This latest instalment in the William Warwick series is just as brilliant as usual with arch nemesis’ mikes Faulkner and his counsel, Booth Watson still trying their best to bring the team down.

An absolute belter of a read.

This story is the penultimate book in the William Warwick series. It can be read as a standalone but the series is well worth reading. Fast moving action and an ingenious plot lead to a fantastic read with a real cliff hanger at the end. Looking forward to the last in the series.

A brilliant new addition in this very readable series. I raced through this as it was so good. I always enjoy these books and this one was up there with the others. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

As the penultimate William Warwick novel in the series, this certainly doesn’t disappoint. I could not put this book down as we once again enter the lives of William Warwick, his family and his team. A fast moving plot, which moves between the Middle East, London and New York where you catch yourself holding your breath at some of the audacious yet entirely plausible plot lines with a finale that is just frankly staggering. I will be looking forward to the next instalment - the only downside is that it will be the final book of the series. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this novel in return for an honest review

#AnEyeforanEye #NetGalley Although this is part of a series of books (William Warwick series), it is capable a being read as a standalone as the author gives enough references to previous events to keep the reader engaged. However, I do urge readers to read the previous books as this is a great series. Lots of action and plots and sub plots - Jeffery Archer is an excellent story teller. The cliffhanger ending with Ross leaves the reader desperate for the next in this series. I hope it isn't too long!!

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for the complimentary copy of An Eye for an Eye by Jeffrey Archer.

This was my first book with Jeffrey Archer, and I thought I would have enjoyed it more than I did, but unfortunately, it did not impress me.
Perhaps I should read the first few books in this series.

A man has been imprisoned for a murder he did not commit. A witness that needs to be smuggled out of the country to testify on the innocence of the imprisoned man. The prison is in the Middle East where judgement is passed before reaching a trial for those that are not in power.

A document signed by the original authors of the Declaration of Independence. Letters shared between two men over two hundred years ago.

The story line seems to be highly improbable. I appreciate that it is a work of fiction, but it just didn't seem very believable.

The writing is good, but didn't enjoy the storyline, I'm sorry.

A billion-dollar deal is about to go badly wrong as a night out in a luxurious city ends in murder.
Thousands of miles away, Lord Hartley is dying, leaving an inheritance with huge consequences.
These two deaths are Continents apart and unrelated, but they are the centre of a master criminal’s plot for revenge…
Can Scotland Yard’s Chief Superintendent William Warwick uncover the truth before an innocent man’s life and legacy are destroyed?

Once again, master plotter @jeffrey_archer_author has pulled off a sublime outing for our favourite characters, mixing real timelines with wonderfully crafted and immersive storytelling. Miles is about to be released from prison, Beth is raising money for a Dutch masterpiece, Ross is happily enjoying his romantic association with his daughter’s headmistress, and William is wondering about a promotion for the Hawk at the start of this book. We are whirled through their lives in a fast-paced, thrilling story dominated by themes of greed, bribery and corruption and revenge. I literally read this book in less than a day because I didn’t want to put it down…

An Eye for an Eye, the seventh book in Jeffrey Archer’s William Warwick series, is a thrilling and intricately plotted novel that hooks readers from the very first page. Archer delivers a masterclass in suspense as Chief Superintendent William Warwick faces his most challenging adversary yet: Miles Faulkner, Warwick’s archenemy who is out for revenge after being released from prison.

The novel spans from the luxurious city of Riyadh to the quiet countryside of Berkshire, weaving multiple storylines together with Archer’s signature flair. A billion-dollar deal gone wrong in Saudi Arabia leads to a shocking murder, plunging the British government into turmoil. Meanwhile, the death of Lord Hartley sets off a dramatic inheritance battle with unforeseen consequences. What makes An Eye for an Eye so compelling is how these seemingly unrelated events are masterfully connected into a broader criminal plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

Archer’s ability to craft complex characters shines in this novel. Warwick’s relentless pursuit of justice and his ability to navigate a world filled with corruption, lies, and forgeries make him a protagonist worth rooting for. The supporting cast is equally well-developed, and even for those unfamiliar with the earlier books in the series, it’s easy to become invested in their stories.

Despite being part of a series, An Eye for an Eye stands on its own, making it accessible to new readers without requiring knowledge of previous installments. This was my first book that I read in the series, and I didn’t feel lost by not having the previous books in this series. The separation of the plot into distinct, yet interconnected, stories helps keep track of the various characters and events, enhancing the readability and keeping the pace brisk.

With numerous twists, high-stakes drama, and a cliffhanger ending, An Eye for an Eye is a gripping tale of intrigue and revenge that will leave fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the William Warwick series. Jeffrey Archer once again proves why he is a master of storytelling.

Another fantastic read by Jeffrey Archer. His book do not disappoint if you haven't read anything by him previously start now!

Every book in the William Warwick series is a little bit better than the last (as were the Clifton Chronicles), even when I think they couldn’t possibly get any better! Another truly wonderful read featuring a lot of twists and turns, a lot of familiar friends and foes, and a plot full of red herrings and near misses. It was only whilst reading the Acknowledgements that I realised this time one of the key characters is based on a real life character with a similarly colourful background, and some further reading shows an unlikely friendship between Billy Mumford, the Met and Jeffrey Archer.

Brilliant as always, but I’m now gutted that I have to wait another year for the conclusion of the story - what a place to end!

With thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I love Jeffrey Archers writing and was really looking forward to reading this book the 7th in the William Warwick series.

I was not disappointed. A great read.

This could easily be read as a standalone if needed as it is an easy book to follow if you’ve not read the previous.

Jeffrey has a way with story telling and his plots are exciting with lots of twists and turns.

Loved it

As my mother and auntie love Jeffrey Archer’s books, notably the William Warwick series, I knew I had to give An Eye for An Eye a chance - they have read every instalment and have been adamant I pick them up.

This was a really interesting book. Jeffrey effortlessly manages to take smaller strands of plot lines and weave them together into a fascinating story with twists and turn. I was so close to whipping out a cork board and some red string and really piecing it together.

We meet a myriad of characters throughout who all felt integral to the overall journey we are taken on. There are characters who are based on real figures in history, both British and American, and I felt oddly proud for recognising them.

There were a few parts I felt were a little rushed but all in all this book was a delight to read.

Although this book is part of a larger series, it can be read as a standalone. All important plot pieces are explained throughout the book, in conversations and nod backs to pivotal moments, so you don’t feel completely at a loss on how we have gotten to this part of the story.

I will definitely be picking up the final book and going back to read the others in the series.

A special thanks to HarperCollins UK and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Storyteller extraordinaire Jeffrey Archer is back with this, the seventh book in the excellent William Warwick series; another slick, fast-paced cops and robbers yarn that entertains from start to finish.

Once again, William finds himself up against his old nemesis, Miles Faulkner, who, newly released from prison, is hell bent on exacting revenge from the man who put him there.

The perfect opportunity arises, when two seemingly unrelated deaths take place thousands of miles apart; one in the Saudi capital Riyadh and the other in the English countryside. But each has consequences for the other, and Faulkner is in there like a rat down a drainpipe to turn things to his advantage.

With a flurry of subplots — ranging from an arms deal gone wrong to the false imprisonment of an English peer, and from political shenanigans and bribery to United States’ history — there’s a heck of a lot going on in this book. But credit where credit’s due. Archer somehow manages to keep it simple; his storytelling such that you never lose track of the plot.

The narrative flows at breakneck speed, but it’s an easy, engrossing romp of a read, elevated above the ordinary by the trademark bells and whistles that make Archer’s writing so unique. Witty, clever, and almost dizzying in its many twists and turns, it delivers a punchline that leaves you gasping for the next book.

Much of what makes Archer’s writing stand apart is the detail he weaves in about the British establishment and the historical references he pulls up to add color to his storytelling. In this instance, I was fascinated to learn about Thomas Jefferson’s proposed amendments to the US Declaration of Independence, notably the abolition of slavery.

I absolutely love the cast of characters that Archer has created for this series, and I so enjoy seeing them being further fleshed out with every book. In this instalment, it’s William’s right-hand man, Inspector Ross Hogan, who finds himself in the thick of the action.

Disconcertingly, it is also Ross who finds himself hanging off a metaphorical cliff at the end of the book. And we readers, who have to wait a frustrating twelve months to find out his fate.

Although this can easily be read as a standalone, I highly recommend starting at the beginning of the series in order to enjoy it in all its glory.

What an absolute page turner! This penultimate William Warwick novel packs all of the brilliant punches we’ve come to expect from this series. Right from the very beginning the action comes thick and fast involving all of the important characters in Warwick’s life from his wife Beth, to his children, to his colleagues and best friend Ross, and of course his arch nemesis Faulkner. A thrilling national storyline of arms deals and corruption, subterfuge at the Fitzmolean, and an invaluable piece of long lost American history all come together in this roller coaster read. I can’t wait for the final instalment next year!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for a review.

William Warwick is back and so is his arch nemesis Miles Faulkner , so let the games of cat and mouse begin!
The story is compelling and I had high hopes that Faulkner would get his comeuppance.
The writing is fast paced with plenty of twists and turns and is littered with details about politics, the law and the art world which means there is plenty to keep the readers interest .
Jeffrey Archer writes a clever and entertaining story and it has left me chomping at the bit for the next in the series .
Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK.

I have been enjoying the series following the criminal activities of Miles Faulkner and the efforts of DI Warwick to capture him once and for all! As usual, Archer writes a really good novel and I understand the next book is to be the grande finale. I can’t wait! I would thoroughly recommend this book although it would be better if you read the previous novels involving these characters first to understand the relationships with wives/ex-wives, work partners, etc.

This is the seventh William Warwick book and as I hadn't read the previous books in the series I was unsure of how easy it would be for me to pick up the story. However as the background is given I found this to be no issue and believe this book can be read as a standalone book.

This was a great tale of deceit and lies travelling from London to Saudi Arabia and New York with multiple main characters.

There are twists and turns throughout this book that is great for fans of political thrillers.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for providing me with an advance copy.

I miss old Jeffrey Archer. This book is far from his best stories. There were no deep characters, no unexpected storyline twists-from the very beginning I knew how the book will finish.
