This is the 4th installment of the William Warwick and company series that would be best if read in order. You can still enjoy this without reading the others but it may be harder to follow. There are several storylines going on here with the the main ones about Miles Faulkner who is also now known as Captain Ralph Neville and the Buchanan family who own the cruise ship line that William is sailing on to begin this tale.
The author Jeffrey Archer is a master of writing and telling stories that always have many sub plots, revenge, and coincidences taking place. I really enjoyed this book, even more so then his last book, Turn a blind Eye. I have read every novel that he has written, some 2 or 3 times, as he is my all time favorite author. Any day that I get to read one of his masterpieces, especially his earliest books, As the crow fly's and Kane and Able its a great day for me.

I enjoy this series, but this book had too much going on for my taste. Once again, we see the nefarious Myles Faulkner being pursued by William. Warwick. Because of the repetition of characters and continuation of the same plot, this is not suitable as a stand-alone.

Additionally, Archer throws in subplots and more characters, simply too much. I was disappointed and felt confused. Like many series, there isn’t enough material in the same case to keep it fresh and exciting.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.
