A thrilling novel of suspense from the international bestselling author of The Clifton Chronicles, Jeffery Archer's False Impression.

Why was an elegant lady brutally murdered the night before 9/11?

Why was a successful New York banker not surprised to receive a woman's left ear in the morning mail?

All these questions and more are answered in Jeffrey Archer's novel, False Impression, but not before a breathtaking journey of twists and turns that will take listeners from New York to London to Bucharest and on to Tokyo, and finally a sleepy English village, where the mystery of Van Gogh's last painting will finally be resolved.

Predictable

Jeffry has some great ideas. I believe he will eventually be a fantastic writer. He has improved with every book I read. He is rather predictable, and I mean from the beginning of page 1. He writes well and has nice ideas. I think he needs a few new ideas of his own though instead of reproducing old masterpieces. This book is a fresh idea and has nice flow. His next will be better and I will read it also.

good thriller

Good no nonsense thriller, I enjoyed it.

predictably and enjoyably Archer

Yes, Jeffrey Archer's books are a tad predictable but they are always entertaining and the characters appealing. I have been listening to Archer's books for years and have always enjoyed the mellow and melodious British speech of his regular reader. I must say, as much as I enjoyed the story, this reader's accents were AWFUL! They were inconsistant, inaccurate and somehow all colored with the same very Irish-sounding "R".

Third time to read it!

I’ve read this twice in hard copy, and a recent road trip prompted me to listen for my 3rd round, and it was just as good. My mom and sister also loved it. It’s one of my favorite Jeffrey Archer books, full of suspense, interesting characters, and it really pulls you in.

Accents by the narrator

This is a wonderful book. It has intrigue, suspense, and very likable characters. It is classic Archer writing. The one thing that I found most annoying, past the point of distraction, was the narrators feeble attempts at accents. His narration in general was well done, but when he slipped into what he perceived to be a Middle Eastern accent, I was distracted from the story-line by the lameness. All in all, a good listen if you are able to get past the aforementioned.

Good Characters

Incredible moving description of 9/11 which catapults the reader into the story. The rotten are rotten and the good are good. I enjoyed "Prisoner of Birth" so much that I bought another of Jeffrey Archer's books immediately. The reader of this book was not as enjoyable as in the previous audible book,and his attempt at a Roumanian accent sounded more Irish than Roumanian. Lot's of twists and turns in the plot, which made me want to get back to listening as soon as possible. It's an elaborate shell game played all over the world with a priceless painting.

A good predictable read

My first experience with the author. Despite the fact it was predictable for me, however; I listened to the very last word. Generally enjoyable

Great Audiobook!

The book was marvelous. It had a little bit of everything suspense, education, mystery...just enough to keep you at the edge waiting for the next chapter to unfold. Without giving away to the ending, I didn't want to go on thinking that all that was worked for went down the tubes, but what a GREAT ending!

lots of holes

i read alot of Archer. He is typically a master storyteller but this title is rife with plot holes or timeline mistakes.

Another Archer success.

loved it. great story & wonderfully told. Archer's excellence in revenge continues. very well done
