Summary

Turn a Blind Eye is the third installment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick， by the master storyteller and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles。

Newly promoted to Detective Inspector， William Warwick is tasked with a dangerous new line of work， to go undercover and expose crime of another kind: corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan Police Force。 Along with detectives Rebecca Pankhurst and Nicky Bailey， his team is focused on following Detective Jerry Summers， a young officer whose lifestyle exceeds his income。 But the investigation risks being compromised when Nicky falls for Summers。
Meanwhile， notorious drug baron Ahmed Rashidi goes on trial， defended by Booth Watson QC， while William’s father Sir Julian and sister Grace lead the prosecution case。 And William’s wife Beth， now a new mother to twins， makes a surprising new friend in Christina Faulkner—the ex-wife of William’s former rival， criminal financier Miles - who has not only turned over a new leaf， but also has a new-found source of income when Faulkner dies suddenly of a heart attack and she stands to be sole inheritor of his estate。
As the undercover officers start to draw the threads together， William realizes that the corruption may go deeper still， and more of his colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind eye。

Average Jeffrey Archer might have written this for a stage play。 Two major court room scenes， an artwork auction sums up the book。 For those who would have read the previous works of Archer， you could very well predict what comes up in the next page。I don't understand how an accomplished author like Archer doesn't get tired of dishing the same stuff again and again。Not recommended at all。 Average Jeffrey Archer might have written this for a stage play。 Two major court room scenes， an artwork auction sums up the book。 For those who would have read the previous works of Archer， you could very well predict what comes up in the next page。I don't understand how an accomplished author like Archer doesn't get tired of dishing the same stuff again and again。Not recommended at all。 。。。more

The book was okay。 There was a lot of action， but there are some plot holes and implasible situations that bothered me。

If you are the type of reader who looks for a well-written， absorbing series to get hooked on， you probably are familiar with Jeffrey Archer， whose seven-book The Clifton Chronicles saga is one of the best。 His relatively new series is about Detective William Warwick。 Turn a Blind Eye is its third installment。 You could read it as a standalone but it would be much better to go back and read the first two books as this is a series worth reading from page one。It is 1987 and William Warwick has bee If you are the type of reader who looks for a well-written， absorbing series to get hooked on， you probably are familiar with Jeffrey Archer， whose seven-book The Clifton Chronicles saga is one of the best。 His relatively new series is about Detective William Warwick。 Turn a Blind Eye is its third installment。 You could read it as a standalone but it would be much better to go back and read the first two books as this is a series worth reading from page one。It is 1987 and William Warwick has been promoted to Detective Inspector。 His new responsibility entails heading a team to uncover internal corruption within the Metropolitan Police Force。 They focus on a young officer with an exemplary arrest record who has raised suspicion by living way above his means。 He appears to be keeping many of the luxury stolen items he finds in his theft cases。 In addition， the book highlights the trial of the drug baron arrested in Book #2。 It no longer appears to be an open and shut case。 Warwick， who is now married and a new father to twins， learns that even those on the right side of the law are willing to turn a blind eye every now and then。Archer is an expert on weaving strong plots and developing interesting characters。 The details of the stakeouts， the courtroom scenes and more are so well done that there’s never a dull moment。 There’s a lot to like about this series and this book in particular。 Many thanks to St。 Martin’s Press， NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read Turn a Blind Eye in advance copy of its publication。Rated 4。5 out of 5 stars。Review to be posted on MicheleReader。com closer to publication。 。。。more

Yet again Jeffrey Archer produces a great work of fiction。 Suspend your belief， and there only a few coincidental points， and enjoy the continuing saga of William Warwick。 It was also nice to spot a reference to his book of Heads You Win within the pages。

Thanks to NetGalley and The Publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review。3。5 stars rounded up。There's no way you can't like this book。 Great easy accessible writing but lots of attention to detail and complex characters。 Page-turning， cliffhangers， tension， mystery， but also cozy - serious issues and topics are dealt with but a good use of humour to keep it light but not fluffy。 I really like the fact that the original ensemble cast of characters are still very much part of the story Thanks to NetGalley and The Publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review。3。5 stars rounded up。There's no way you can't like this book。 Great easy accessible writing but lots of attention to detail and complex characters。 Page-turning， cliffhangers， tension， mystery， but also cozy - serious issues and topics are dealt with but a good use of humour to keep it light but not fluffy。 I really like the fact that the original ensemble cast of characters are still very much part of the story 3 books in and don't seem to be going anywhere。 I'm really enjoying their stories along with the main protagonist。 But also love the fact that new and more devious nemesis's are added into the fray。Looking forward to the next installment。 。。。more

Sambasivan ，

William Warwick is such an adorable character。 So is Beth and Sir Julian。 There is a clear demarcation between the good and the bad。 They all come alive so nicely。 Set in the 1980’s this novel in a series of detective escapades and court manoeuvres is vintage Archer。 He revels in clever dialogues and in pithy story telling。 It is once again proven that Jeffery Archer is a master storyteller。 Go for it。

This is the third installment in the William Warwick series of books。 This book is more enjoyable if you have read the previous books， as there are previous characters and plot lines that feature in this book。 William Warwick has been newly promoted in this book。 The story focuses on this and what happens next。 There are lots of twists and turns， which is something that Jeffrey Archer is excellent at。 I love his style of writing， it is very compelling。 I actually like this book more than part 2。 This is the third installment in the William Warwick series of books。 This book is more enjoyable if you have read the previous books， as there are previous characters and plot lines that feature in this book。 William Warwick has been newly promoted in this book。 The story focuses on this and what happens next。 There are lots of twists and turns， which is something that Jeffrey Archer is excellent at。 I love his style of writing， it is very compelling。 I actually like this book more than part 2。 If you have read the other books in the series then you should definitely read this one。 Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC。 。。。more

DI William Warwick finds himself dealing with multiple cases， the most important of which， I think is that of Rashidi， a tea/drug importer known as the Viper。 Rashidi is on trial， being questioned by Warwick's father Sir Julian。 Then there's Miles Faulkner， a criminal moneyman who has been a tick in Warwick's side （among other things he tried to tank Warwick's wedding） and Detective Jerry Summers， who has been living beyond his means。 Whew。 These three threads will pull together in the end。 It's DI William Warwick finds himself dealing with multiple cases， the most important of which， I think is that of Rashidi， a tea/drug importer known as the Viper。 Rashidi is on trial， being questioned by Warwick's father Sir Julian。 Then there's Miles Faulkner， a criminal moneyman who has been a tick in Warwick's side （among other things he tried to tank Warwick's wedding） and Detective Jerry Summers， who has been living beyond his means。 Whew。 These three threads will pull together in the end。 It's Archer's strength as a storyteller that will keep you reading。 Those who have read the earlier books will find this more rewarding than those who pick it up as a standalone。 Thanks to netgalley for the ARC。 I'm curious where this will go next。 。。。more

In Jeffrey Archer’s third book in the Detective William Warwick series， newly promoted Detective Inspector William Warwick gets tasked with leading a clandestine undercover unit to fight corruption inside the London Metropolitan Police Force。 Having to keep the undercover unit a secret from his family， William has to juggle this new responsibility， his usual work-load at the drug squad and his duties as a new father。 Drug baron Assem Rashidi is on trial at the Old Bailey， having been captured by In Jeffrey Archer’s third book in the Detective William Warwick series， newly promoted Detective Inspector William Warwick gets tasked with leading a clandestine undercover unit to fight corruption inside the London Metropolitan Police Force。 Having to keep the undercover unit a secret from his family， William has to juggle this new responsibility， his usual work-load at the drug squad and his duties as a new father。 Drug baron Assem Rashidi is on trial at the Old Bailey， having been captured by William and Met Police in the elaborately planned raid in Brixton （see book 2）。 William’s father Sir Julian and William’s sister Grace lead the Crown’s prosecution。 Of course， Rashidi’s defense lawyer is none other than Booth Watson， happy to work for any criminal with enough money to make it worth his while （see books 1&2）。 Imprisoned while awaiting trial， Rashidi quickly takes over the prison drug trade and establishes himself as the boss inside the prison。 But the prison guards might not be the only ones willing to make Rashidi’s life more comfortable。 When important evidence in the trial against Rashidi goes missing， it becomes clear that someone working inside the Met Police must be on his side。 Like the first two books in this series， I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book， which is full of twists and unexpected turns， in true Jeffrey Archer style。 The plot is fast-paced， but the characters are still well-developed。 While I do not mind the court drama， I would have preferred a little less of it and more crime fighting undercover work/ art crimes， like in the first instalment of the series。 While this is the third book in the series， it continues straight from where the second one left off， so it is advisable to read them in order to make sense of the plot and characters' histories。 I look forward to reading the next book in the series。 Many thanks to NetGalley， Pan Macmillan and Jeffrey Archer for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

great deal of late and feels that his actions might merit demotion or worse。 However， his superiors First and foremost， a large thank you to NetGalley， Jeffrey Archer， and St。 Martin’s Press for providing me with a copy of this publication， which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review。The newest novel in Jeffrey Archer’s latest series is always reason for some excitement， at least for those who have a penchant for the author’s attention to detail。 DI William Warwick has been through a great deal of late and feels that his actions might merit demotion or worse。 However， his superiors at the Met have other ideas， using him to coax out those who have gone rogue。 It will be a secret mission that could cost Warwick everything if he is caught， but ensure another promotion if he is successful。 Archer at his best in this piece， which keeps his many fans on the edge of their seats。As the case of Assem Rashidi， notorious drug lord， is set to go to trial， William Warwick is promoted for his work on the arrest。 DI Warwick is not sure if he ought to be happy about this， or expect to be punished because of all the corners that were cut in the sting operation。 Still， he’s happy to be a part of the action and will follow whatever plan is put before him。DI Warwick is given a daunting task to help discover whether others within the Metropolitan Police have been acting in a corrupt manner。 It will not only be difficult， but highly dangerous， as no one likes a leaker。 Amassing his team， DI Warwick begins targeting a young detective who is surely living beyond his means， which is likely related to receiving kickbacks。The Rashidi trial comes before the courts with DI Warwick as one of its key witnesses。 Two others in the Warwick family are heading the Crown’s case—Sir Julian， the ever-present father， and Grace， his sister—prepared to put away this seedy character as soon as possible。 The case will be difficult， with a strong defence headed by Booth Watson QC， but the Warwicks are determined， if nothing else。 The case hinges on identification and Rashidi will do anything he can to lead everyone off his trail。Meanwhile， Beth Warwick has been tending to her new twins while William is away working。 She knows the life of a detective’s wife is anything but glamourous， but finds ways of keeping herself busy。 Oddly enough， this includes spending some time wit ha new friend， Christina Faulkner， who happens to have been recently divorced from William’s greatest foe， Miles。 When a series of events thrust Christina into a massive fortune， it becomes apparent that corruption inside the Met is much deeper than first expected。 Juggling the trial and some of his own sleuthing， DI Warwick gets to the heart of the matter， in hopes of rooting out those who would try to bring the Met to its knees。 It will be a challenge， but there’s nothing that DI William Warwick holds closer to his heart than ensuring no one is turning a blind eye to justice。 Well， perhaps family is a little more important， but that’s for another story！Anyone familiar with Jeffrey Archer and his writing will know that there are numerous subtleties found within each story。 Be they linking pieces that keep a series connected or off the cuff remarks that come back to mean something later， Archer keeps his readers on their toes throughout。 This book is no exception， creating a series about William Warwick， a character who was mentioned throughout the Clifton Chronicles as being the main protagonist of Harry’s popular series。 Now， the reader can see all the buzz that the novels created directly， as Archer takes on the role of Harry Clifton to breathe life into the idea。William Warwick is a fabulous protagonist and grows effectively throughout the series。 He has been promoted and works on showing his leadership throughout this piece。 However， he cannot stop looking behind him， as there are those who would love to see him fall flat on his face。 Added to that， Warwick a new father to twins， which forces him to divide his time between work and home life， never easy at the best of times。 The reader sees some solid development throughout， perfect as things heat up ahead of the fourth novel。Archer is never one to create flat characters， even those who are in a supporting role。 The cast of this novel offer great depth and excitement throughout， as the story shifts to numerous plot developments and settings throughout。 There are those who complement Warwick well， as well as individuals who flavour the narrative such that the impediments are clear。 Never a shortage of action fills the pages of this book， with Archer providing wondering entertainment in the form of his minor characters。The story itself was strong and began soon after the previous novel ended。 This is always hard to do， as Archer must bridge the excitement that ended the last piece with a new sense of pizzazz immediately。 There is no issue with the flow of the story or pulling the reader into the centre。 I found myself lost in the story with a great deal of ease， leaving me to want even more with each chapter。 The narrative pushed along well and kept me begging for more， with short chapters that teased as much as they propelled the story forward。 Archer has a style I have come to love and I cannot get enough， so I am happy to know that the next piece is hot on the heels of this one， due out in November。 What a treat that will be， as DI William Warwick has much to do in the coming years。Kudos， Lord Archer， for another winner。 You never seem to slump in my opinion， which makes seeing your books all the more exciting for me。Love/hate the review？ An ever-growing collection of others appears at: http://pecheyponderings。wordpress。com/A Book for All Seasons，
