Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Nothing Ventured is a good detective story. Stolen artwork and reproductions are a very intriguing business of deception. A lot of research and time goes into finding the vandals who steal the artwork. Then time is spent building a case against the thieves by the police only to see them get off on a lie. Four stars were awarded to this book. It is very good. It's a good couple of decades since I've read a book by Jeffrey Archer. The only reason is that so very many (hundreds!) other books have ended up on my TBR, they pushed those by my favoured authors out of my mind. So I thought I'd revisit one of my erstwhile favourites with this, the first in the Detective William Warwick books. Archer hasn't lost his knack, that's for sure. It's really well written, easy to read, totally absorbing, moves along at a cracking pace and great fun. I love that the series starts right at the beginning of Warwick's police journey. In this, we see him embark on his detective career with the arts and antiquities squad, investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt. His success no doubt will determine his future. The art interest also gifts him with his love interest, all expertly interwoven to provide an enjoyable and entertaining read. I did, in fact, guess the little twist at the end, but it still raised a smile of satisfaction. Note to self: don't wait another twenty years to read the William Warwick #2. What a great way to start a series. This is the story of Detective William Warwick. Though there are several cases that William helps solve, it is really the story of the man that captured my attention. You can't help but fall for the Willaim. He is young and a bit naive when he starts his career, and I loved following his growth and adventures. Read this one in one sitting. If you love a character driven story, then you need to read this one. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
