• This is my first novel by Jeffrey Archer and I am just sitting here wondering how I ever could have missed such an amazing mystry writer. This is bad news for my TBR pile as I can only imagine I will be running out to purchase more! :)A mondern day spin on the premise of The Count of Monte Cristo done beautifully. This book grabs has you page one and holds on until the very last page. I had to read on to find out how Danny Cartwright was going to overcome the injustices against him. From the Cover:If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson the day before, or the day after, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend. But when the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat, and the youngest partner in an established firm’s history, who is going to believe your side of the story?Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest-security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped.However, Spencer Craig, Lawrence Davenport, Gerald Payne, and Toby Mortimer all underestimate Danny’s determination to seek revenge, and Beth’s relentless quest to pursue justice, which ends up with all four fighting for their lives.

• I loved the audio version of this book---wonderful character voices and the interview with Archer at the end made me look up more up about him as an author. A fast moving book, a "track" race to get to the next CD! I have read other Archer books but this new one is right at the top of the list.

• Incredibly brilliant! Archer certainly does not disappoint - plot twists abound, but with a purpose. Keeps you on the edge of your seat while reading, and provokes thought when you aren't. I highly recommend it!
