False Impression
by Jeffrey Archer
A delightfully over-the-top parody of THE DA VINCI CODE!
What do you get if you cross the 2013 comedy film AMERICAN HUSTLE, Dan Brown’s THE DA VINCI CODE, Daniel Silva’s THE REMBRANDT AFFAIR, David Baldacci’s THE COLLECTOR, with special thanks to the 2018 action thriller THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME?
If that sounds like an unlikely combination of ideas that might produce a global chase thriller predicated on a nasty corporate con designed to swindle a priceless van Gogh painting from the estate of an elderly British matriarch, I’d say you were right! BUT I’d also tell you this. FALSE IMPRESSION isn’t going to win any literary awards and it isn’t intended to pass on any subliminal moral nuggets but it certainly works. Entertaining from first page to last, FALSE IMPRESSION is a wonderfully diverting and surprisingly gripping story that will put a smile on the face of any reader that enjoys the thriller genre.
Definitely recommended. It’s a long, long way from the vintage generational family story-telling that one might expect from a more typical Jeffrey Archer novel, but it’s great fun!
