A review by ciska
As the Crow Flies by Jeffrey Archer
3.0
Obviously, Archer has a trick. He has the good guys, and the bad guys and they fight over generations.
Charlie is a great character, a self-made man coming from the East End and working his way to Eton Square. He takes some shortcuts but does it with enough charm that you can forgive his missteps. It is clear he means well and wants the best for most of the people in his surrounding. On the other side, there is Ms. Trentham who has all the tricks in the book to make his life miserable. It was soo nerve-wracking for me as a reader I got upset by things she did. As the book is told from multiple points of view you get all sides and know things as a reader the other characters are not aware of which adds to that feeling of things going wrong.
I always like that the female characters in Archer's books are strong. They are able to support themselves and take care of stuff.
