4.0

I’d forgotten from the last Jeffrey Archer book I read how much I enjoyed his writing style. Traitors Gate is the sixth book in the Detective William Warwick series. 

 

A heist is in the works. The object of desire? The Crown Jewels. The Tower of London isn’t an easy location to penetrate. One would need a connection to the inside… fortunately for the thief, he does. 

 

It’s evident in the writing that Jeffrey Archer is an expert at his craft. Heist stories aren’t typically my favorite, however, I enjoyed this one a lot. I nearly read this in one sitting because I wanted to see how everything would work out. I also appreciate that despite this book being part of a series, it can be read as a standalone (I’ve not yet read the first four books in the lineup). 

 

A huge thanks to Harper360 for sending me a free ARC of the book to read and review!
