Nothing Ventured: The Pulse-Pounding First novel in the Sunday Times Bestselling William Warwick Series from International Bestselling Author Jeffrey Archer

Jeffrey Archer let you into his story as if you are entering a lifelong friendship. When you turn the last page and read the last paragraph, it's like losing dear friends. Then you yearn to meet those friends again, and you pick up the next Jeffrey Archer novel and start the friendships anew. Thank you for the unforgettable characters you let us meet in your books, Mister Archer!

This is not a detective story, this is a story about a detective William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective, and decides, much to his father’s dismay, that rather than become a barrister like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London’s Metropolitan Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery who he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she’s terrified will come to light. I always look forward to a new series by the author & we actually first met William as a fictional character in The Clifton Chronicles. As ever this is a page turning, entertaining read. The characters are very well portrayed & have plenty of depth. The pace flows effortlessly & I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I was drawn in from page one & read it in under a day. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
