The 7th and penultimate instalment in the William Warwick series and as usual the author doesn’t disappoint.
The usual suspects both heros and villains are here, the usual clever twisty plots all set against recent history and interwoven with actual characters and events of the time its set in.
Also as usual Archer delivers a hell of a brilliant read which I completed in one sitting. I genuinely did not want to put it down and I'm bereft now I've finished it.
The master storyteller at his best.

Another clever episode in the William Warwick series of detective stories Along with the usual dodgy characters and QC to fight against Warwick and his fellow officer and best friend Ross Hogan in the case of a British negotiator in Saudi Arabia falsely accused of murder during talks over an arms deal. Whilst incarcerated the recently widowed wife of a British peer, the mother of the accused in Saudi, is conned by Miles Faulkner and the QC Booth Watson out of a Constable painting and a written proposal for the American constitution . Full of twists all leading to the final cliffhanging moment which leaves us waiting for the final episode of this long running excellent drama.

Jeffrey Archer is eighty-four and is churning out novels like he is fifty or more years younger. His latest, An Eye for an Eye, is the seventh in the William Warwick series to be published within five years!

Simon Hartley, leading the English delegation to Saudi Arabia to negotiate a three-billion-pound arms deal, gets arrested for a murder committed by a powerful man in front of his own eyes. His fate and that of the arms deal, in turn, hinges on the testimony of a woman, a British citizen, whose life is in danger thanks to her connection to both the killer and the victim. Getting the woman out of the country in secret and keeping her safe is essential, and the task lands with Chief Superintendent William Warwick’s team. Miles Faulkner – team Warwick’s archenemy – is out of prison after serving three years and has already planned his move to destroy Beth Warwick’s – William’s wife – career in the art world. Booth Watson – the devious advocate of Miles – catches a handsome fish in the form of some invaluable antique documents in the hands of an unsuspecting, recently widowed lady during one of his funeral-chasing expeditions and takes the proposal to his biggest client. Things become deadly when two of these matters become interlinked, and another murder is committed. Already overstretched, team Warwick, especially Chief Inspector Ross Hogan, must employ all means – legal and less so – to thwart the enemies’ plans.

Spanning three continents with a couple of murders thrown in, An Eye for an Eye is a bit more intense than the previous one and is as enjoyable. This one, too, like most Archer novels, is plot-heavy, without much time for character development. However, most of the primary characters are already well established, and the new ones are described adequately to do the job. As always, Archer’s prose is simple and flowing, and the plot progresses swiftly with several twists, a few of them unexpected. Apart from the main story, the personal lives of Warwick, Ross, and Christina – Miles’s ex-wife – also find space in the entertaining narrative. Archer provides authentic descriptions of the nineties London and many historical titbits about art and other matters. There are places where the actions of a few characters are questionable, and the usual irritants like the formalities connected with the royal affairs, Warwick’s lack of contribution, and the somewhat dated narration are present in this volume also. Still, Archer’s storytelling has a charm that makes one forgive these issues. The ending of An Eye for an Eye has a hook that will make the readers – at least this one – want to know what happens next.

I had a good time reading An Eye for an Eye, but I would be thrilled if Archer finishes this series with the next one and follows that up with something contemporary.

My gratitude to HarperCollins UK for the Digital Review Copy of An Eye for an Eye through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this exceptional book

you always know you are in for the ride of your life when you start reading a jeffrey archer book and this one is no exception... it starts as it means to go on and you will lose sleep over this book as you wont be able to put it down

how can two deaths, miles apart from each other be related.... only warwick and his band of helpers can work it out

but you are in for a treat with all that happens in this book... how this author comes up with some much intrigue and murder is anyones guess

i cant wait for the next book in this thrilling series

I had never read a William Warwick book before and I was glad I read this one. A lot happened in the novel, while I liked that it was separated into separate stories, which was great to keep track of characters, who were well fleshed out.. High suspense with a cliffhanger ending. I don’t think the previous books in the series need to be read to understand this novel, other than background for the main characters and story overall. Apparently there is one book left in the series, so I will definitely be giving it a read. Would highly recommend this book for the setting, plot and characters overall. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Fiction for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review,

As ever Archer knows how to deliver a story! A good read, fast paced, lots of twists. - it does sometimes stretch the imagination a bit but isn’t that the joy of story telling ? Have read the other books and it is nice to reacquaint with old friends and the story just rolls on. The story is left unfinished and I can’t wait to read the next book !

Another great read in the William Warwick series. I can't believe it is the penultimate book of this collection. There are several threads in the plot which end up to coming together at the end. There are lots of twists and turns with revenge in mind for one character. I love the way the author incorporates the world of art into the story, as well as politics. There are lots of heart stopping moments.
We meet Ross Hogan again, who comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress.
Miles Faulkner is set on revenge again. Will he finally get what he wants in the end - the downfall of William Warwick. We are left with a cliff hanger. How am I going to wait for a year to find out what happens in the final book.
Thanks to net galley for the free read in return for a review.

Warwick and Hogan return to face their arch rival Miles Faulkner in yet another twisting tale of deceit, forgery, robbery and downright lies.
Jeffrey Archer has penned yet another gripping story as Warwick and Hogan gain promotion but enter their deadly quest to save lives and to save an historic document.
I have never been disappointed with a book by Jeffrey Archer and it always amazes me how he manages to knit his themes together and sometimes inconsequential facts are clues needed to solve the case!
I will be disappointed to read the last book in the series next year as Warwick, Hogan and their families have grown up during the series and become great characters in their own right..
An amazing series.

This is a seventh novel in William Warwick series. This was fast paced and filled with unexpected happenings. The characters are mysterious. The book is multilayered. A man was framed in a murder case and it turned his life upside down. He was going to make a deal with Saudi Arab government but things take an unexpected turn when he eye witness the murder of a man yet he is charged with his murder. And there is a Saudi’s Prince’s involvement in all the unexpected happenings. Only one person can provide the evidence of his being not guilty but will the royal family let that happen? The books have political background and political dealings. There were twists, secrets, revenge plan, art forgeries and British establishment. There was so much going on in the book. I felt that some characters deserved better. The book kept me on the edge of my seat. Author has shown how government’s powerful allies bring lives at stake and instead of harmony, set the continents apart

Thanks to the Author and Publisher.

Another fast paced page turner from Jeffrey Archer - a thoroughly enjoyable read. I was concerned that I would need to be up to date with this series but found it worked perfectly well as a standalone novel and yet enough references back to previous books to keep avid fans happy.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

Jeffrey Archer has done it again! 'An Eye for an Eye' is another unputdownable pageturner featuring Chief Superintendent William Warwick and Inspector Ross Hogan and their adversaries Miles Faulkner and Booth Watson. This is the 7th novel in the excellent William Warwick series. It feels like you are accompanying old friends on their adventures. But it can also be easily read as a standalone.
A Saudi Arms deal, art forgeries, politics, family heirlooms, death sentences, friendships - this novel combines them all to a fast paced plot with many twists!
Many thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Jeffery Archer is and has been a great writer of some fantastic mystery books. And this one didn't disappoint for sure. When a billion dollar deal goes horribly wrong and a murder is on the cards this is a story of wealth, royalty, revenge and so much more. As part of a series these are all books you will want to read if you love a good murder mystery.

A well paced book that will keep you entranced, so much so that you won't want to put it down. William Warwick is doing what he does best and continues to thrill us, intrigue us and keep us reading. The story itself is full of twists and turns, is cleverly written and has some great characters (old and new).

It took me no time at all to read this book as it was exciting and entertaining and another great addition to an already wonderful series.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

I absolutely adore this series. This is the 7th in the series but can be read as a standalone, but you may well find yourself going back and reading the previous one.
The quick wittedness of all the characters is just astounding.
Completely unputdownable, fast paced, each trying to get one over on the other but will the good guys get there in time again. Don't just read my waffle, just pick up the book and find out for yourself!!!

Thank you to Harper Collins UK, HarperFiction, Jeffrey Archer and Netgalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

The latest in the William Warwick series and it doesn’t disappoint. We are reintroduced to many of our favourite characters and also some new ones.
This story takes us to Saudi Arabia and part of the plot is about an arms deal that goes spectacularly wrong.
As with all Jeffrey Archer books there are many twists and turns and some clever and unexpected outcomes. This book leaves us on a knife edge and I can’t wait to read the next (which I believe will be the last in.this successful series ☹️).
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for and advanced copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

Lord Hartley, the latest in a line of peers going back over two hundred years, lies dying. But his will triggers an inheritance with explosive consequences. Another death thousands of miles away, an arms deal about to go wrong. Could they be linked & how? William Warwick & Ross Hogan have their work cut out.
The seventh book in the series, as I love series & I have to start from the beginning I’d recommend doing so but this book could be read on its own. Another well written page turner with twists, turns & red herrings. The characters have depth & the pace is good. I make no bones about loving the author’s books & have since his first release many moons ago. He’s a master storyteller & draws me in each time. Yes you have to suspend belief occasionally but it doesn’t spoil my enjoyment. My only quibble is that the book ended on a cliff hanger so I’ve a year to wait for what happens next
I voluntarily read and reviewed a special copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own

I really enjoyed the most recent William Warwick - I think it might be my favourite among the most recent books in this series. Fast paced, easy to read and full of characters we know and love. Would highly recommend, particularly to fans of Jeffrey Archer.

I didn’t realise this was the 7th in a series when I requested it but it reads fine as a standalone.
The plot is intriguing & different from what I’d normally read, a real page turner filled with suspense, lies & corruption.

★★★

You know you’re always in for a great read when you’re looking at the latest Jeffrey Archer novel. This one is no exception, cleverly written and full of the twists and turns you’d expect. Highly recommended

This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone novel. A story full of twists and turns, backstabbing and treachery. Deals are done in high (and low) places and corruption abounds. Forgery, arms deals, revenge and red herrings galore are masterfully woven into a compelling political thriller. I thoroughly recommend it.

Jeffrey Archer never fails to draw me in keep me turning the pages. Number seven in the fantastic Warwick series.Full of political back stabbing tension & humor.# netgalley #aneyeforaneye.
