The Sins of the Father (The Clifton Chronicles) (The Clifton Chronicles, 2)

Product Information

BUT OH MY GOD. I started reading the book at about 4 thinking I would read some chaps during the two hour power cut. Being lazy nowadays - I had convinced myself I am losing my appetite for books. But Archer just proved that my tummy is destined for unseen obesity levels! This is the BEST book I have read in the 16 years of my life. Sure I am an archer fan , but my expectations weren't really high after the average only time will tell (with a stunning finish though) This is not a formula book with continuing characters just dropped into a random plot line. The story is complex and unfolds layer after layer. Events in the past threaten to disrupt the present, and off course, the investigation path leads to a murder. Harry meanwhile writes a diary about his time in prison. When one of his fellow inmates, Max Lloyd, is released, he requests Harry to keep sending him diaries as he enjoys reading them a lot. Max publishes them in his own name. Emma reads the 'Diary of a Convict' and recognizes Harry's handiwork. She begins to try and meet him in prison but the warden says that Harry/Tom has been mysteriously transferred. Harry and Pat are recruited by the US army to cause mayhem behind enemy lines.

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me” ( Exodus 20:5). The Sins of the Father is the second of the seven parts of the Clifton Chronicles by British author Jeffrey Archer. The book was published worldwide in 2012. [1] Plot [ edit ] Albert also becomes entangled in his father's business as he becomes older, eventually being asked by his father to do various things for him. Although while doing so, his father, who at this point was increasingly desperate, vocally expressed his regret about having to involve a son who he never wanted in his business. We get to see another side of Roy DeMeo that the history books don't paint in between paragraphs about his grisly murders, the story of a father who did everything right by his kids and wife. The book often reads like the perspective of Michael Corleone if he were in Goodfellas. I have only listened to a few of this series, reading most of them. The narrator has been the same which I appreciate. Most of the story is in Beau's head space and he is in every bit of dialogue so it's great I enjoy the voice for him. I'm not sure about the female voices but they were rather limited, anyway. I was able to listen at my normal 1.5x speed.At the age of seventeen, following the murder of his father; Albert had no choice but to enlist himself as a soldier in his father's war. To avoid jail time or the same fate as his beloved father, Albert had no choice but to fight battle after battle against both the feds and Roy's other family. Emma Barrington,the mother of Harry's child,goes to the US,looking for him.His friend Giles Barrington also fights in World War II.

Sins of the Fathers is the 24th book in the JP Beaumont series. Beau is retired from 3 jobs throughout the series but now working as a private investigator. He employs his usual clever analysis of the information and human nature to follow the truth. It's great to see him and his friends and family again. I suppose it wouldn't be necessary to read all the books but they are so wonderful I am glad I have read them all. Somehow, I’ve managed to read two Beaumont mysteries in a row! What a rare, but very pleasant treat!! Not, only that, I won a gorgeous hardcover copy of this book from Goodreads!! Win-Win!

Archer remains a powerful narrator and linguistic sculptor, presenting the reader with a wonderful story that expands with each passing chapter. Renewing the layered narrative approach, the reader is treated not only to numerous plot lines through the eyes of various characters, but also a powerful addition to the central story with each section. The reader may bask in the exciting set of plots on which the novel continues to build. While the story has yet to really focus on a second (or third) generation, Archer had laid the groundwork for this and has a number of storylines ready to blossom. Patience, eager reader, as I am sure it all comes to pass soon.
