Helpful Score: 1

Jeffrey Archer is a terrific storyteller, and I loved the first two volumes in this series. This installment of the Clifton family saga I did not enjoy as much. For one, a good third of the plot involves a British election campaign where a lot of the terminology and machinations were (literally) foreign to me and therefore somewhat difficult to follow. Also, the plot seemed to degenerate into implausible potboiler - turns of plot solely to keep you on the edge of your seat rather than things that might really happen in the real world. I will give volume 4 a chance and then decide whether or not to read volumes 5 and onward.
