“Hidden in plain sight: a Detective William Warwick novel by Jeffrey Archer

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   The elusive drug ring was scooped up, but the birth of the Warick babies over-shadowed the fact that various loose-ends were left dangling at the end of the story.

   George Blagden did a good job reading this story for the NLS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeffrey Howard Archer, Baron Archer of Weston-Super-Mare (born 15 April 1940)[1] is an English novelist, former politician, convicted perjurer, and peer of the realm. Before becoming an author, Archer was a Member of Parliament (1969–1974), but did not seek re-election after a financial scandal that left him almost bankrupt.[2] He revived his fortunes as a best-selling novelist; his books have sold more than 320 million copies worldwide.[3]

Archer became deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (1985–86), before resigning after a newspaper accused him of paying money to a prostitute. In 1987, he won a court case and was awarded large damages because of this claim.[4] He was made a life peer in 1992 and subsequently became Conservative candidate to be the first elected Mayor of London. He had to resign his candidacy in 1999 after it emerged that he had lied in his 1987 libel case. He was imprisoned (2001–2003) for perjury and perverting the course of justice, ending his elected political career.[3]

Archer’s latest novel, Hidden in Plain Sight, was published in October 2020, and is the second book in a new series featuring detective William Warwick.[38] The third book in the series, Turn a Blind Eye, will be published in 2021. The Short, the Long and the Tall, an illustrated collection of Archer’s short stories, will be published in November 2020, with watercolour illustrations by artist Paul Cox.[39]
