Once again Archer has managed to weave together several engaging plots to provide a hectic workload for the Scotland Yard constabulary. I whizzed through it, as it was fast paced and full of action, which kept me excited and eager to read on. of course most of it is fictional, but resemblances cannot be denied , that makes the story surreal.
I get the impression that it is better to read this series from the beginning to understand the significance of some of the secondary characters, such as the escaped prisoner, Miles Faulkner. I liked the parts about the Royal Protection Service, but too much of this was still about Faulkner, his wife, and his art collection. Why can't Archer get some other villainous characters rather than some guy who is being made out to be the superman of criminals during Warwick's time?It also follows William's wife Beth, as she divests herself of a job she is no longer enjoying and sets herself up in business - with Christine! While I am fascinated with anything about the British monarchy, this particular story captured my interest because of the time period. The fifth book in the series sees William Warwick and team getting involved with the protection of Royal family, precisely Princess Diana.
Anything less than the utmost dedication to duty in the protection of the Royal family, will not be tolerated. The fifth book In his new William Warwick novels - the first of which, Nothing Ventured, was published in 2019 - is NEXT IN LINE which will be out in September 2022. Taking place in 1988, there are a couple of plot lines with related characters, all revolving around Scotland Yard’s DCI Warwick. Anyone not familiar with this author's writing may see the first half of Next in Line as not having much happening because all the action takes place quite late in the book.
They have two sons, William and James, three grandsons and two granddaughters, and divide their time between homes in London, Cambridge and Mallorca. Many thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for providing me with a pre-release copy to read and review.
Meanwhile ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive responsibility as he becomes the close protection officer of one of the royal family. He was a Member of Parliament and deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, and became a life peer in 1992. I was anticipating reading a book about The Royalty Protection Command and what might have been involved with protecting a princess who had a mind of her own .
As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. Thanks to HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction, HarperCollins and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I know I didn’t realise that this is part of a series, thankfully I realised it quite late in the book and I don’t think it affected me. Welcome to Scotland Yard, Your Royal Highness,' he said, and was greeted with that warm, shy smile with which the public had become so familiar. Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader's copy of Next In Line by Jeffrey Archer in exchange for an honest review.
While many in the Royal Family prefer to keep a low profile, Diana attracts the flashbulb like none before her. But when the lightbulb of understanding finally turns on, from that point in both books I didn't want to put them down. This nothing new, but something is on the horizon, lowing the tabloids to feast on all the crumbs tossed their way.Many thanks to Harper 360/HarperCollins for the opportunity to read Next in Line in advance of its publication. Because of the lead up on the front cover, I had expected the book to be more about security protection for Diana, Princess of Wales. Maverick ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive – and unique – responsibility. He is the only author ever to have been a number one bestseller in fiction (nineteen times), short stories (four times) and non-fiction (The Prison Diaries).
