I'm not usually a big fan of spy stories, but this one had a nice twist to it.
Love Jeffrey Archer's books. Enjoyed this book
I very much enjoyed reading The Eleventh Commandment. My husband read it after I finished, so we had good discussions about the characters and story. It was a satisfying read for both of us. I would rate it 4 stars and Bob would offer it 3 stars.
The Eleventh Commandment....Thou shall not be caught.
"Involving and convincing...Archer hashad an inpressive and steady career as a writer of compulsivelyreadable suspense novels. He specializes in the unexpected plot twist, the surprise ending...Archer[Has] the Ineffable Gift of a natural storyteller and he brings to the page a romance and a sentiment often missing in the genre."

Not one of Archers' best books, but an enjoyable quick read.
A first rate international thriller with a slam-bang climax. A lot of fun to read. Wouldn't want a boss like Helen Dexter!
Jeffrey Archer never stops writing good books, a real page turner.
I have always had a weakness for a Jeffrey Archer caper and this is no exception. Career CIA troubleshooter is hung out to dry by an opportunistic President. Operative is then sent to kill Russian Communist candidate in hopes he in turn will be killed by either CIA, Russian Mafiya or secret police. Thought provoking with many red herrings.
An international thriller. There is plenty of fun and suspense.
