This review is from: Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (Mass Market Paperback)
Intricate plot. Impressively detailed gems of research sprinkled here and there, in a timely fashion, with just the right depth. Very well written. All in all, a very enjoyable read. In addition, this book was part of an order that was eligible for free shipping - which is advertised as taking 4-7 days to arrive. UPS delivered my order the next day, within 24 hours. As I live some 60km NE of Montreal, in the country, I don't exactly live "next door" to an Amazon warehouse! Free shipping! That decidedly added to my enjoyment! ;-)

READ WITH SUAVE ASSURANCE,

This review is from: Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (Audio CD)
British mystery master Jeffrey Archer never fails to intrigue with his imaginative plotting and incomparable characters. Anyone who has ever been bilked can well relate to the four profiled in "Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less." We're talking about being stiffed big time here - each lost everything he had to Harvey Metcalfe, con man par excellence.The four men are strangers but they're brought together by a common goal - get Harvey Metcalfe, and get him good. It's a dissimilar quartet, an Oxford don, a physician, a French art dealer, and an English lord. However, between them they produce a plan that will not only break Metcalfe but make him suffer to boot. Listeners are treated to an action filled chase that takes them to some of the most glamorous spots in the world - Monte Carlo, Ascot, New York, and London. Revenge is the name of this game, and they won't quit until they've exacted it. Martin Jarvis reads with suave assurance as he carries us along on a fascinating chase. Can four fellows inexperienced in duplicity out con a first-rate con man? - Gail Cooke
