I'm at chapter 4 and am yet to be engaged. This may be due to monotone narration. I would not buy.

Story
The Clifton Chronicles is Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious work in four decades as an international best-selling author. The epic tale of Harry Clifton’s life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, ‘I was told that my father was killed in the war’. But it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father?

Second Half of the Story goes Downhill Fast
Reviewed: 02-12-2016
The fist half of the book is really good. The story flows and it's well written and interesting. The second half bombs, it's as though someone else wrote it. The book went downhill after the tea shop burnt down. The story turns into rubbish and is very boring, predictable and a lot of the time necessary events happen. The storyline is repeated over from different characters perspectives and soon gets repetative. It is predictable in most parts then veers off to a random and very unnecessary event right at the end. The opportunity to evolve the characters and storyline fails miserably. For example the way Harry's father died is silly and boring and very disappointing. I literally fell asleep. Disappointing considering the good start to this book.

Story
When Detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at Montreal's St. Hubert airfield, he does so without looking back. For Sime, the 850-mile journey ahead represents an opportunity to escape the bitter blend of loneliness and regret that has come to characterise his life in the city. Travelling as part of an eight-officer investigation team, Sime's destination lies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Only two kilometres wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of around 130 inhabitants - the wealthiest of which has just been discovered murdered in his home.
