Good but not his best
I like JA's style of writing. He gets you hooked straight away and with this book it is the same. Not really one of his best stories though, bit predictable and dull but nevertheless enjoyable.

Not the standard I have come to expect from Archer
The core plot is OK. Apparently some details have been updated for this version. Could it have been all the product placements ? The way the names and details are fired out without pause and are very hard to follow.
This isn't the standard I have come to expect from Jeffrey Archer. It smacks of a ghost writer or else J. Archer was trying to pad out the story to lengthen it. A lot of boring details have been put in which don't add in any way to the story.
If the story had instead been shortened to 6 hours, it could have held the tension level.
Lorelei King is a good narrator, but since this book is 90% male voices, perhaps a male reader would have come across better. This is not in any way to cast doubt on Lorelei King, as I think she had a good range of voices, even for all the men.
One thing that did make both this and The Prodigal Daughter (also narrated by Lorelei King) tiresome to concentrate on, was the way there wasn't even one breath left between scene change so many times I literally lost the plot.

Not up to J A standard
Did not think this book was up to Jeffrey Archers standard and the narration was terrible, the voice just grated. I as determined to finish it to see if it got better and it didn't. It was a eureka moment when at last it finished.

A really good thriller
Just as good as when I first read the book nearly 49 years ago. Some of the details have been updated but it's basically the same story. I would thoroughly recommend this book.

Another great listen!
This book is more about the 'secret security service' stories around the president. Gripping as usual and thoroughly enjoyable and has you guessing right to the very end. Enjoyed every minute!
