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.

Another unputdownable book, this time Archer is daring to expose Saudi Arabia in all it worst activities. Archer’s familiarity with the upper echelons of British society are also used to good purpose. I strongly recommend this book. If this isn't a book to brag about I don't know what is... I started it late last night. Never did I anticipate I would be closing the book at 1am left in complete shock... This book was insane!

Book 7 in the William Warwick Series and the continuation of the Chief Superintendent Warwick and Miles Faulkner feud brings us a couple of ingenious plots involving multi billion arms deals and an historical document. This is classic Archer stuff and as always it’s a quick but compelling read.

Briefly, the Hartley family hold a genuine historical document in their possession. However when the Rt Honorable John Hartley dies, his son Simon is in a potentially deadly situation following a scam played on him in Saudi Arabia. Enter Miles Faulkner, released from prison and determined to gain revenge on the Warwick family whilst earning some ill gotten gains for himself.

So many twists and turns it almost made me dizzy trying to keep up. High level foreign government corruption, art forgery and a desperate attempt to prevent an unlawful execution amongst so much else; this book has it all. Non stop action and another highly entertaining read, with a cliffhanger that’s clearly leading us to the next and potentially final book in this series.

Thank You for the opportunity to read An Eye for an Eye by Jeffrey Archer.

I didn't know it was a series but not having read the prior books didn't hamper understanding this one.

A formula story, I would say. Worth a one-time read, if you must.

Not one of his best stories that will stay with you long after reading.

Another fabulous read in the William Warwick series with an explosive ending!
I really enjoyed this book and I learned a lot about art and history as always. I end up putting the book down to search the art and back stories as I get so fascinated by the descriptions.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series and to see what happens next to Warwick and co.
