Sunday Book Club: Turn A Blind Eye, Jeffrey Archer

Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at the next book in the William Warwick series..

Turn A Blind Eye (2021)

Jeffrey Archer


Synopsis

Detective Sergeant William Warwick is tasked with a dangerous new line of work: to go undercover and expose corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan Police Force.

His team focuses on Detective Sergeant Jerry Summers, a young officer living an extravagant lifestyle. But Summers develops a personal relationship with a WPC on William’s team and the investigation hangs in the balance.

As his undercover officers draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go far higher than his initial assessment, and that more of his colleagues than he thought possible might be willing to turn a blind eye . . .

In the third instalment in the life of Detective William Warwick, following on from Hidden in Plain Sight, international bestseller Jeffrey Archer once again displays his mastery in the art of storytelling. This can also be read as a standalone story.

Overall Review
