Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller
Nothing Ventured is the first novel in the incredible and thrilling William Warwick series by Jeffrey Archer, the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel.
This is not a detective story, this is a story about a detective.
William Warwick is eight when he decides to join the police force. Resolute in the face of his prominent QC father’s objections, William graduates in Art History from university and immediately enrols as a constable in the Metropolitan Police.
Gaining insight from his first mentor, an experienced, world-weary constable, his keen mind quickly takes him into a role in Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques unit and his first case: the recovery of a Rembrandt stolen from the Fitzmolean Museum.
It will take skill and tenacity for William to solve the crime, and along the way he will encounter many who will change his life, from Miles Faulkner, a crooked art collector, and his influential lawyer – who bends the law to the point of breaking – to research assistant Beth Rainsford, a woman with secrets who he falls hopelessly in love with . . .
William Warwick’s destiny is set, the only question is, how far will his ambition take him? Thrilling, absorbing and entertaining, Nothing Ventured heralds the start of a new series from master storyteller Jeffrey Archer and introduces a character destined to become one of his most enduring legacies.
Continue the gripping series with Hidden in Plain Sight.

Interesting and defiantly enjoyable.
I have no curiosity for Art or Art appreciation, nevertheless this was not a problem in my enjoying this book.
I quickly came to like the main character, the story was simple enough in its content, which actually fitted with all the characters really well.
Some of the story line was a little predictable, however, it didn’t stop me wanting to listen to the end.
If you just want a feel good, easy to listen to book, I am sure you will enjoy this one.
I look forward to the sequel which is in the pipeline for release October 2020.

An epic storyteller
I have little respect for Jeffrey Archer as a person, but as a novelist he continues to write so beautifully.
I chose to read this book as I enjoy crime/mystery novels but not the gore and/or intense family drama that most of this genre include. This book proved to be perfect. Reminded me very much of the TV series featuring the young Inspector Morse (Endeavour??)
I'm looking forward to starting Book 2 in the series.

Loved this book.
Really loved this book., A bit of humour as well as a good story. Of course will be too long until next chapter in the life of Inspector Warrick.
