Summary

Turn a Blind Eye is the third installment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles。

Newly promoted to Detective Inspector, William Warwick is tasked with a dangerous new line of work, to go undercover and expose crime of another kind: corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan Police Force。 Along with detectives Rebecca Pankhurst and Nicky Bailey, his team is focused on following Detective Jerry Summers, a young officer whose lifestyle exceeds his income。 But the investigation risks being compromised when Nicky falls for Summers。
Meanwhile, notorious drug baron Ahmed Rashidi goes on trial, defended by Booth Watson QC, while William’s father Sir Julian and sister Grace lead the prosecution case。 And William’s wife Beth, now a new mother to twins, makes a surprising new friend in Christina Faulkner—the ex-wife of William’s former rival, criminal financier Miles - who has not only turned over a new leaf, but also has a new-found source of income when Faulkner dies suddenly of a heart attack and she stands to be sole inheritor of his estate。
As the undercover officers start to draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go deeper still, and more of his colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind eye。

I am a fan of Jeffrey Archers style of writing。 I find it very easy to become lost in the plot which moves along very quickly, The downside is that the minor characters are insubstantial and even the major ones lack depth。 However, the writing style flows and the twists and turns are dotted throughout the book。 Having read previous works featuring D I Warwick I found it easy to pick up the plot again。I throughly enjoyed being transported back to the late 1980, s and look forward to reading more I am a fan of Jeffrey Archers style of writing。 I find it very easy to become lost in the plot which moves along very quickly, The downside is that the minor characters are insubstantial and even the major ones lack depth。 However, the writing style flows and the twists and turns are dotted throughout the book。 Having read previous works featuring D I Warwick I found it easy to pick up the plot again。I throughly enjoyed being transported back to the late 1980, s and look forward to reading more about the newly promoted Warwick。 。。。more

This is the 3rd instalment of the William Warwick saga, this time with him newly promoted to Detective Inspector, in an anti corruption unit。 The focus of the unit is on DS Jerry Summers, an officer who has numerous commendations but seems to live well above his means。 He’s also a bit free with throwaway remarks about his own type of justice, and plays the field with the female officers。This is a stand-alone read but I’m glad I read the first two books as the background is nice to have。 Although This is the 3rd instalment of the William Warwick saga, this time with him newly promoted to Detective Inspector, in an anti corruption unit。 The focus of the unit is on DS Jerry Summers, an officer who has numerous commendations but seems to live well above his means。 He’s also a bit free with throwaway remarks about his own type of justice, and plays the field with the female officers。This is a stand-alone read but I’m glad I read the first two books as the background is nice to have。 Although the story is a bit predictable, it has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested 。 Add to that a nice array of characters, villains and good guys alike, it makes for an enjoyable and easy read。 Jeffrey Archer is definitely a master of his craft and I look forward to Williams next outing。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book。 。。。more

The third book in the ongoing saga of the career of William Warwick。 An exciting storyline with twists and turns aplenty taking you deeper into the activities of the evolving characters。

Patricia Moren

Another fascinating police, procedural story from Jeffrey Archer。 Continuous tension throughout and great descriptive writing which brings the characters to life。 A cliff hanger conclusion。。

My thanks to NetGalley and publisher Pan Macmillan for the ARC。I was so pleased to be given the chance to review this third book by Jeffrey Archer, starring William Warwick - I loved the previous two。 William, much to his father's chagrin, decided to become a police officer rather than follow him into Law。 Sir Julian Warwick is a highly respected QC; William's sister Grace is a Barrister and her partner Clare, a solicitor。Following a stint in the Arts & Antiques division, eventually resulting in My thanks to NetGalley and publisher Pan Macmillan for the ARC。I was so pleased to be given the chance to review this third book by Jeffrey Archer, starring William Warwick - I loved the previous two。 William, much to his father's chagrin, decided to become a police officer rather than follow him into Law。 Sir Julian Warwick is a highly respected QC; William's sister Grace is a Barrister and her partner Clare, a solicitor。Following a stint in the Arts & Antiques division, eventually resulting in Miles Faulkner escaping custody on fraud charges - and who's still on the run, DS Warwick was involved in a successful drugs manufacturing and distribution raid "Trojan Horse"。 He intends to resign until Commander Hawk convinces him he needs to stay, for several reasons - Miles Faulkner is still on the run; Superintendent Bruce Lamont resigned that very day - foregoing all his pension rights after, quite frankly, his hand had been caught "in the till" following Trojan Horse, and he's needed to prepare the case again Assam Rashidi who's suspected of heading up the drugs factory。 Then he's asked to work under cover with a specialist unit looking into police corruption as a Detective Inspector - not even his family is to know - to outsiders, he's working on the Rashidi case, but his first job is to investigate DS Jerry Summers who, despite an excellent arrest record and commendations, seems to be living beyond his means。PC Nicky Bailey is posted to Romford where Summers is based and soon falls for his charms - will she allow personal and professional life to blue the lines - will she turn a blind eye?As Rashidi's case progresses it's clear that Assam's QC Booth Watson is getting the upper hand - what's ex-Superintendent Bruce Lamont's role in all this?Will Nicky Bailey come down on the right side of the law?William's wife Ruth is left in a quandary when her friend Christina - Miles Faulkner's wife - involves her in a plot to purchase a painting。 William and his father and sister run the gauntlet of Booth Watson as he represents both Assam Rashidi and Miles Faulkner。 Evidence goes missing and William's team are involved in a cat and mouse game to gain the higher ground。Lots of deceptions and, quite frankly, legal shenanigans, as the cases are played out in Court。I particularly liked the portrayal of Assam Rashidi - it did remind me of the part Noel Coward played in the original "Italian Job" (oops, hope I haven't infringed anything here!) where he is "The King" in his prison surroundings - commanding all, and everything around him, leading a life of privilege。Everyone except the hand-picked team must assume William is still working with the drugs squad。It's just the smallest thing that can destroy a defence。 William has the knack of noticing such things。Looking forward to DCI William Warwick leading his own murder team。An excellent read! 。。。more

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this novel。 Archer doesn't disappoint! Another fast paced suspense novel that keeps you engaged from first page。 The plot twists keep you guessing and the final page leaves you counting down the days until his next book is released!

I really enjoy this series。 I think Archer has created a great central character, William Warwick, and a cast of interesting people who surround him。 Once again William and his father are matching wits with the brilliant and corrupt lawyer, Booth-Watkins。 Another reoccurring character is the villain, Miles Faulkner。 There are twists and clever detective work by the crew, led by Commander Hawksby。 So, I certainly enjoyed this book, but I must warn readers that this is not a stand alone novel。 You I really enjoy this series。 I think Archer has created a great central character, William Warwick, and a cast of interesting people who surround him。 Once again William and his father are matching wits with the brilliant and corrupt lawyer, Booth-Watkins。 Another reoccurring character is the villain, Miles Faulkner。 There are twists and clever detective work by the crew, led by Commander Hawksby。 So, I certainly enjoyed this book, but I must warn readers that this is not a stand alone novel。 You have to read the series from the first book to prevent getting lost among the continued themes。 The book even ends with the start of the next in the series。 While I will certainly continue to read these books, I do caution readers that they will appreciate this and the future books by starting from BOOK I。 Thank you Netgalley for another lovely romp with William Warwick。 。。。more

Was totally enthralled。I was reading on my kindle and was disappointed the book ended。Of course there was a cliff hanger。
