From AudioFile

With a voice of comedic cunning, narrator Martin Jarvis embraces this Machiavellian tale of sweet revenge. He brilliantly characterizes con-man Harvey Metcalf, sly financial investor. With inspired plot twists, Metcalf's creative swindle cons an Oxford don, a society physician, a French art dealer, and a charming English lord out of their savings--until they wise up to what has happened. In academic tones, with sporadic French accents, Jarvis captures the marks and focuses on how they use their employment specialties to exact pristine revenge on the unsuspecting Metcalf, to the very last penny. The amazing twist at the end leaves the listener truly satisfied with the ingenious plot and counterplots in this story of psychological warfare and avarice.

4.0étoiles sur 5 READ WITH SUAVE ASSURANCE, Juil 18 2004
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less: 3cds (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?

4.0étoiles sur 5 Amusing tale of a swindler swindled, Juil 9 2004
Par L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less (Mass Market Paperback)
Harvey Metcalfe, an unscrupulous American businessman, cons four different men into between them investing a million dollars in a dud oil company, Prospecta Oil. Then the oil company vanishes along with the money. The four men get together and decide to recover their lost money by in turn swindling Harvey for the exact amount he took from them - hence the title, not a penny more, not a penny less. They all come up with complex, cunning schemes for getting omeny out of Harvey, and carry out each scheme in turn. The first one, involving a very sahdy art deal, was my favourite, but they are all clever, though several of them come close to failure. There are several clever plot twists in this story, and a very amusing ending. I felt that the characters were a bit indistinct, none of them struck me as particulalry memorable, but in a story of this kind the plot is the thing, and the plot in this one is amusing and gripping enough to keep you turning the pages until the end, and the ending is very good.
