Turn a Blind Eye

A Detective William Warwick Novel

By: Jeffrey Archer

Narrated by: George Blagden

"'Turn a Blind Eye' is a highly enjoyable episode in this ongoing series - in no small measure due to the talented Blagden’s versatile and spot-on vocal interpretations of each character in the large cast." (NJ.com)

Turn a Blind Eye is the third installment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and number one New York Times best-selling 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 Assem 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.

Book 3

Enjoyed it. But not his best by far. A bit predictable.
See if the Murder one is better

Engaging Series

I am quite engrossed in this ongoing series. I am curious to see how Booth Watkins finally slips up and entraps himself.

stellar, as always!

I an enamored of this series and wait impatiently for the next compelling new tale!

Great series.

I’d almost forgotten that I had started the first two books in this series. This is a continuation so I had to reach back to remember the characters. So glad to take this back up again.

3rd ScOutland Yard Series GREAT

This is the 3 rd book in a ScOutland Yard Series about a young inspector. Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books. Fast moving interesting easy to follow.

I will b on the lookout for an additional 4th book. I purchased this current novel and waited for release. It was well worth it.

Jeffrey Archer continues - with a new narrator

At first, we were not sure if we liked this book, nor were we convinced that this book met the high standard we have come to appreciate from Mr. Archer. As we progressed through the book, we realized that this narrator, while good, was not in the superlative class of the prior narrator.
All in all, a fine story which is worth listening.

Faulty Story Line

It is rather frustating to listen to some of the court scenes which show the prosecution rather incompetent at times, lacking simple common sense. And there are other story parts that are hard to fit in.

Superb

This book is totally engaging and clever and very well read
I highly recommend it

Another winner

As always Jeffrey Archer keeps youvwondering, what next. Hoping there a next book out soon.

Cliff hanger

As usual he always leaves you wanting to read the next book. I have never been disappointed.
