jeffrey archer has once again managed to fully immerse the reader into the clifton chronicles and leave me wanting more!

The second book of this series, the sins of the father, follows the lives of harry, giles, hugo and emma following harry’s fake death, emma’s pursuit to one him, giles’ grief and huho’s continued deceit. we are drawn into the family drama as an estranged hugo struggles to survive and a hopeful emma shows a resilience that has not been explored yet. 

the timeline ventures into harry’s murder charge as thomas bradshaw and the beginning, middle and end of WWII. Although being a period piece, it doesn’t feel like a boring, dragged out history lesson and archer is able to keep the reader captivated with each chapter and perspective. 

i truly never know what to expect from him and that is the best thing an author can implement into their writing…
