Story
On July 19, 2001, Jeffrey Archer is sentenced to four years in prison for perjury. He serves the first three weeks of his sentence in a high-prison that houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. Archer contemplates suicide; he is allowed out and followed by 100 reporters on the day of his mother's funeral; he's moved to the Lifer's wing because of the security; and he becomes a trusted confidant for fellow convicts. A Prison Diary is Archer's account of these events.

Story
Ex-Special Forces operator Tom Keeler is a rambling man. He’s just passing through the town of Alencourt, France, and in less than an hour, someone tries to kill him. Nice place, nice try. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, and they picked the wrong guy. The French police can’t be trusted, except for the beautiful Cecile Nazari. She finds out fast that keeping up with Keeler is a dangerous occupation. Because someone’s preying on the weak and unprotected. Someone murderous. But they never counted on coming up against a guy like Keeler.

Not this time
I read this book with a lot of trepidation because although Book 1 was very good, it ended badly. I am so disappointed as I have only recently re-discovered JA and absolutely loved A Prisoner of Birth. I had high hopes for the Clifton Chronicles but sadly it did not deliver. It was slow, painfully so at times. Many of the storylines were ridiculously romanticised and I could only suspend my disbelief for so long! JA's experiences both in prison and Parliament have stretched to the limit. The "cliffhanger" at the end of Book 2 was so long awaited and still did not deliver! Sadly, I cannot continue and will be moving onto another author.

Great read!
Capturing from start to finish, just like much of archer’s work, but to be honest it did lack the cutting edge and/or a big twist to make me gasp unlike the previous book.

Disappointed
I enjoyed the first book in the series and so anticipating the continuing saga I purchased the remaining six audio books.
I have to be honest and declare “The Sins of the Father” was very disappointing. I understand it was a novel and I allowed a lot of leeway in the first title but.....
The Sins of the Father IMO was poorly researched, the battle scenes quite unbelievable. For instance Giles is blown up and badly wounded at Tobruk, wakes up in Germany many days later and begins to immediately discuss escape plans.
There was just not enough credibility in the whole story line. For a price I could have continued but I just don’t think the remaining five volumes would be worth a credit each, so I have returned them. I just couldn’t bear to be as disappointed again.
Each to their own though, as is shown by the reviews. JA is a good novelist and can spin a decent yarn but I simply don’t like to be forgiving constant errors, it spoils everything for me.
