Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less
Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less | Jeffrey Archer
Jeffrey Archer's first novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, is page-turning tale of fraud, revenge and determination as four men stop at nothing to get back what was stolen from them. One million dollars - that's what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men - the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don - find themselves penniless. But this time Harvey has swindled the wrong men. They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot and the hallowed lawns of Oxford. Their plan is simple: to sting the crook for exactly what they lost - not a penny more, not a penny less. 'Marvellously plotted, with just the right amounts of romance, wit and savoir-faire' Publishers Weekly 'There isn't a better storyteller alive' Larry King 'Archer is terrific and meets the reader's ultimate tests - to want to turn the page, to want to know what happens next' Sunday Times

This was fun - i actually want to check out the movie. Four investors, swindled of their life savings by stock fraud, meet & plot to get their money back. Not a penny more, not a penny less. Recouping $1M plus expenses ... I did figure out very early that Anne was the daughter and that diminished the detailed efforts of the others. Published in 1976, there is much that shows its age. I read it over 2 days & enjoyed it a lot. Good story. 4/5

I read this all in one night at a B&B on my first visit to the UK when I was 17. I really liked it. My further encounters with Jeffrey Archer's novels were nowhere near as enjoyable.

Cinfhen I liked this author back in the day but it‘s been a LONG time since I‘ve read more books of his. I feel like my parents still read & buy his stuff!! 6y
Andrew65 I loved the recent series he wrote called The Clifton Chronicles. There are seven in the series. Highly addictive and great yarns. (edited) 6y
kiks Jeffery Archer is one of my favorite authors. I loved this book by him but my favorite from him would be False Impressions 6y
