Story
Now in his seventies, Robert Parkin is stunned to find himself the unlikely sex symbol of the village gardening club. Living in happy solitude with his cat Isaac Mewton in the Devon village of Millbrook, entertained by his mischievous chickens and goats, Robert has never figured out the rules of romance. But as the local ladies vie for his company, it soon becomes clear that Robert’s Victoria Sponge cake is the lure, and as his baking prowess grows, so does his confidence. Cheesecakes, meringues, puddings, Robert can do it all, but his real masterpieces are his scones.

Publisher's Summary
Cometh the Hour opens with the reading of a suicide note, which has devastating consequences for Harry and Emma Clifton, Giles Barrington and Lady Virginia.
Giles must decide if he should withdraw from politics and try to rescue Karin, the woman he loves, from behind the Iron Curtain. But is Karin truly in love with him, or is she a spy?
Lady Virginia is facing bankruptcy and can see no way out of her financial problems - until she is introduced to the hapless Cyrus T. Grant III from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who's in England to see his horse run at Royal Ascot.
Sebastian Clifton is now the chief executive of Farthings Bank and a workaholic whose personal life is thrown into disarray when he falls for Nadira, a beautiful Indian girl. But her parents have already chosen the man she is going to marry. Meanwhile, Sebastian's rivals, Adrian Sloane and Desmond Mellor, are still plotting to bring him and his chairman, Hakim Bishara, down, so they can take over Farthings.
Harry Clifton remains determined to get Anatoly Babakov released from a gulag in Siberia following the international success of his acclaimed book, Uncle Joe. But then something unexpected happens that none of them could have anticipated.
Cometh the Hour is the penultimate book in the Clifton Chronicles and, like the five previous novels - all of which went to number one on the Sunday Times best-seller list - showcases Jeffrey Archer's extraordinary storytelling with his trademark twists.

Addictive listening.
The Clifton Chronicles are Jeffrey Archer's Magnus Opus. Set against the turbulent history of post war Briton the books follow the fortunes of a very english family. I have stayed with the storyline because I am determined to see it through. It will be interesting to see how Archer draws all the threads together.

The end
I sensed that the author has written himself into a corner. The prologue offers hope of him getting his characters out of it but everything here became so predictable, especially Sloan and his associates. Lady Virginia at least still lends some modicum of entertainment. Here's hope for future writings but I'm not in any hurry to purchase the next book of the Barrington saga. Pity really when it all started out with such promise.

Another engrossing book by a true story teller
Jeffrey Archer doesn't dissappoint with the 6th instalment of the Clifton Chronicals. The regular characters are back as we enjoy a twisting and ever changing turn of events. Kept me engrossed to the very last word. Alex Jennings narration only makes the experience that more enjoyable. Highly recommended listen.

The series that keeps on giving!
I loved this instalement of the clifton chronicles. There is never a dull moment and, just as the five books before it, keeps you hooked all the way through to the end. Jeffrey Archer is one of my new favourite authors and I look forward to many more of his books.
Alex Jennings is one of the best narrators I have experienced on auidble. His tone and accent for each character is better than I could of imagined. His consistency throughout is awesome!
