For the most part this is an easy read, if a little long-winded at times. Jeffrey Archer's writing style is so "old school British" it's comical at times, I mean, this is set in 1996 - not 1956 - who talks like that??
An interesting premise, Chief Superintendent Warwick's nemesis plots to steal the Crown Jewels, purely to get revenge on Warwick.
If you don't take the book too seriously then it's enjoyable enough with a few twists and turns along the way, but nothing that any true mystery afficionadoes will get excited about.
Not an author I seek out, but one I've read several books by - not as enjoyable as his family saga style novels, but an way to spend an afternoon
