Rating:
Jeffrey Archer is an infamous man, throughout his somewhat dubious political career there has been no doubt that he could write, readable, gripping and popular books. So when I came across his new offering, I read the blurb on the back and was really looking forward to a good story. Now if this had been the first Archer book I have ever read that is what I would have got. The plot in brief is two mothers gave birth at the same time, one to healthy twins and the other to a little boy who did not survive the night. As one of the nurses in the hospital was due to become nanny to the only child, whose parents were ... Read the complete review

Great characters, Fast-paced, well-written 
Plots a little muddled at times Focuses on more interesting characters Doesn't always successfully address the issues it raises Fun and often interesting read,a real gem of a novel that keeps you reading till the end A little bit deceiving in its final throes but otherwise highly enjoyable Excellent storytelling I'm not as keen on the 50s setting Potentially interesting concept Let down by poor execution, dull characters and fragmented plot Evocative language, engaging story Perhaps a bit predictableA Series of Unfortunate Events No. 7: The Vile Village - Lemony Snicket
