Just some good old-fashioned storytelling. Did I learn anything? Not really. Did it blow my mind? Not even a bit. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely

@Andrew65 #rushathonbingo This is a nice distraction from everything. Let‘s see how it goes. I don‘t celebrate Christmas and don‘t really read Christmas books, so might be a bit challenging.

BarbaraBB I have the same ā€problemā€¯ 13mo

Andrew65 @BarbaraBB @Tove_Reads To be honest most of the prompts (23/25) are quite generic and you should be able to find non-Christmas books that meet these.

Only 2 prompts mention Christmas

A Christmas Cosy Read ā€¦. For this feel free to put any cosy Read.

Christmas in the titleā€¦ for this feel free to use a book with any season in the titleā€¦.Christmas, autumn, winter etc, or any religious holiday. 13mo

Tove_Reads @andrew65 True, there‘s usually a way around, or something close enough š @BarbaraBB 13mo

BarbaraBB @Andrew65 Sure, there is plenty of choice among the other 23 prompts! 13mo

so-so

I enjoyed this book but I did not love it. The book had a somewhat sexist feel to me and that was not helped when it was implied that the main character cheats on a girlfriend to help him with a case. I know it was set in the 1980's, but the attitudes felt older than that. Otherwise it was a good story, so I am somewhat torn by this one. The book is about 'the making of a detective' and not a detective story and that part worked for me. 3.25/5

This is book one in the Decective William Warwick series. Though there is several cases that William resolves, it is the story of the man that captured my attention. You can't help put fall for this character of William. He is young and a bit naive when he starts his career and I loved following his growth and adventures. Read in one sitting. 4.5 āļø¸

Andrew65 Strange how they wrote a series about a character that a character in another series wrote about š¤·ā€¨ā™‚ļø¸š‚ I have read all of these and do enjoy them, do think they get better too. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y

Archer a great storyteller. This was a hood set up to the William Warwick series. I‘m sure I‘ll be continuing on with it. š

Andrew65 Think these only get better. 2y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Andrew65 excellent! I liked it but only just but I do know not to be disappointed because we‘re in capable hands! 2y

Andrew65 @Penny_LiteraryHoarders The running themes and characters in the books help the series. I‘ve read all five, however I still prefer The Clifton Chronicles which I loved. 2y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Andrew65 the CC series is one I definitely want to read. 2y

Andrew65 @Penny_LiteraryHoarders I definitely strongly recommend it. Brought me to tears on a few occasions as you get invested in the characters. 2y

Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Andrew65 š‘¨š‘¨ love books that do that!! 2y

kspenmoll @Crazeedi This is my first! Any suggestions for what other book of his to read? 4y

kspenmoll @AlaMich Aren‘t they? I love white tulips! I need a little pretend spring! 4y

Crazeedi This one (it is a series, but I'm not sure I read them all) and the series The Clifton Chronicles, first one 'Only Time Will Tell' (it's an excellent series)

Kane and Abel

mom2bugnbee The Clifton Chronicles is amazing - long, though, so be prepared! (10+ books) 4y

kspenmoll @mom2bugnbee @Crazeedi Thank you both! Will see if I can get it from library. 4y

Crazeedi @mom2bugnbee 10 books? Really? Wow I know I never read that many! I'll have to check out! Thank you!! 4y

mom2bugnbee @crazeedi I beg your pardon, I exaggerated. āŗ I checked GR, and there are seven. I enjoyed them so much, and Kane & Abel as well. 4y

Crazeedi @mom2bugnbee well I think I read 4 or maybe 5 4y

A solid first in a new series by Jeffrey Archer, following a character we were introduced to in the Clifton Chronicles. Family drama + courtroom drama combine to create a fast, entertaining, can't-put-down read (or listen...in my case). I really enjoyed the Clifton series by Archer on audio, so I can't wait for the next in this series. #series

New series about a detective, William Warwick, who will go from Constable to Police Commissioner. It is not a detective story but the making of a detective. Love Jeffrey Archer‘s writing. Master storyteller keeps pages turning. Stolen Rembrandt must be found. Story ends with cliffhanger. Looking forward to 2nd book in series. Recommended for those who love mix of history with mystery.

EadieB @DrexEdit I think you should read his Clifton Chronicles series first as this is a spin-off from that series. They are excellent books!

Only Time Will Tell: The Clifton Chronicles 1

DrexEdit @EadieB thanks! I will do that! 5y

Crazeedi @DrexEdit the Clifton chronicles is a good series!! 5y

DrexEdit @Crazeedi it must be. There's a 4 month wait for the ebook at my library! šØšØšØ 5y

EadieB @DrexEdit Do you ever go to Thrift Stores or Library Sales? I see these books there for sale a lot. (edited) 5y

DrexEdit @EadieB too much! š I did some serious damage at two library sales this past month, so I'm on a self-imposed book-buying ban... Again. š‰šš I'm sure the print version is more available. I just can't check that catalog until I get home. 5y

EadieB @DrexEdit Yes the physical copy is probably easier to get since a lot of people do ebooks. 5y

Andrew65 Great to see him writing another series. Loved the Clifton Chronicles. @DrexEdit I totally recommend that series but have tissues at the ready at points. 5y

Andrew65 I didn‘t realise this was a spin off of The Clifton Chronicles. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 It is mentioned that the main character for the Clifton Chronicles, Harry Clifton, is an author and Jeffrey Archer is writing these books about the character, William Warwick, in the books that Harry Clifton is writing about. Kind of confusing to me. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 Ah! Get it, of corse William Warwick was the character he wrote about. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Sounds like just an excuse to write another series. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Oh yes! Not a great fan of Jeffrey Archer the man at all, but he does write some good books. (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 What do you expect from a politician? lol 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s true. š‚ 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB @Andrew65 agree with person, but like his books 5y

Start of a new series!!! Easy to read, good old fashioned detective š•µļø¸ā€¨ā™€ļø¸ novel. Set in the 70s so no cell phones or computers and only a mention of DNA. Not about murder it‘s a fine arts heist by a very shrewd cat burglar. Very, very good!!!!
š’š’š’ all his books.
