Book Description
International bestselling author Jeffrey Archer's mesmerizing saga of the Clifton and Barrington families continues.
London, 1945. Who shall inherit the Barrington family fortune? The vote in the House of Lords has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel while Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the general election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate.
"One of the top ten storytellers in the world." Los Angeles Times
In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family marches onto the page. But after Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret, the third volume in Archer's bestselling series, will answer all these questions but, once again, pose so many more...
"[A] PAGE-TURNING, HEART-STOPPING SAGA."

My Review
This 3rd book in the Clifton Chronicles picks up where the 2nd one left off with a major cliffhanger. It's finally decided who will inherit the Barrington fortune and the family saga continues. Giles Barrington runs for his next term in office and comes up against roadblocks. He needs to deal again with ex-wife, Lady Victoria, and Alex Fisher, two evil people from his past. Harry and Emma locate Jessica and they are raising her as their own. Sebastian's character is expanded upon and a major cliffhanger is once more waiting for us at the end of this book. The story moves quickly and is a real page turner. If you haven't started this series, now is a good time since book 1 thru 5 is readily available and you won't have to wait a whole year to find out what happens after each major cliffhanger. Jeffrey Archer is truly a great storyteller and I look forward to reading more from this series.
