What-will-happen-next reading."-Kirkus Reviews"No family saga would be complete without a villain, and this book has a good one, a well-drawn and believable character whose motivations are understandable. This thoroughly engaging old-school, multigenerational saga harks back to the work of Malcolm Macdonald, Belva Plain, and Irwin Shaw."- Booklist "Archer knows how to dole out tiny crumbs of suspense right up to the last page, which ends with... a really excellent cliffhanger."- Washington Post, A storyteller in the class of Alexander Dumas…Unsurpassed skill…making the reader wonder intensely what will happen next., A storyteller in the class of Alexander Dumas...Unsurpassed skill...making the reader wonder intensely what will happen next.

  • Jeffrey Archer at his Best!

    The Clifton Chronicles series is the best to date from Jeffrey Archer. I found it extremely difficult to put down a book once started. The most difficult part was completing a book and having to wait almost a year for the following. If you enjoy a good novel with excellent character development and a plot with many twists and turns, you will enjoy the Clifton Chronicles. I have read nearly all of Jeffery Archers books and would rate this series very near the top. Enjoy!!!
