     July 1, 2021
     Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick, of the London Metropolitan Police, has a lot on his plate. A lawyer appears to be perpetrating a fraud, claiming to be acting in the interests of a dead man; the newly-formed Unsolved Cases Unit is tracking the whereabouts of a handful of alleged killers; and there's skullduggery behind the scenes at a luxury cruise line. This is the fourth Warwick mystery (after Turn a Blind Eye, 2021), and again William has risen in rank (Archer's intent from the beginning of the series was to follow Warwick as his career progressed); he's now the youngest DCI on the force, and clearly destined for even bigger things. As usual, Archer deftly balances the mystery and family elements--William's relationship with his father, a noted criminal barrister, has had its ups and downs--and the various criminal subplots all tie together very nicely. Another winner in this consistently excellent series.

     August 16, 2021
     Set circa 1988, bestseller Archer’s overstuffed fourth police procedural featuring Det. Chief Insp. William Warwick (after Turn a Blind Eye) finds William and his wife on a cruise ship heading for New York. When Fraser Buchanan, the chairman of the Pilgrim Line, dies on board, the ship’s captain asks William to investigate. Back in England, William returns to his role as head of the London Metropolitan Police’s newly formed Unsolved Murder Unit. The team is assigned five cases, in which William’s superior believes the perpetrators got away with murder. Each investigation is farfetched and riddled with coincidences. Meanwhile, William is intent on tracking down his nemesis, millionaire art collector and thief Miles Faulkner. Faulkner has recently escaped capture by the police, for which William rightly feels responsible after making a poor decision during a car chase. The resolution of the cruise ship case, which reads much like a quaint golden age mystery, disappoints. Smooth prose makes up only in part for a lack of depth and a hero prone to acting in irritatingly stupid ways. This one’s for diehard Archer fans only.

     November 1, 2021
     Like a pair of Kabuki warriors or comic-book antagonists, DCI William Warwick and archcriminal Miles Faulkner return for yet another round of cat-and-mouse plotting and counterplotting. Luxuriating with his wife, Beth, keeper of pictures at London's Fitzmolean Museum, aboard the SS Alden, a liner bound for New York, William is disconcerted when Fraser Buchanan, the chairman of the Pilgrim Line that owns the ship, dies during a meal. And he's deeply chagrined when his attempts to prove that the patriarch was poisoned are short-circuited by a burial at sea he's powerless to prevent. Fear not: This strangely extended prologue's only connection to the main event is that when the Aldendocks in New York, William skips the wedding he and Beth have been invited to and hastens back to England alone because he's gotten word that Faulkner, reported dead at the end of Turn a Blind Eye(2021), may be enjoying a new life as Capt. Ralph Neville, who's courting Christina Faulkner, his widow, so that he won't have to let go of the art collection he left to her. Faulkner, who's good at these things, slips out of the dragnet Scotland Yard has gathered around him before they can snap it shut, but the ongoing standoff between him and William is more dutiful than engaging. Luckily, longtime undercover DI Ross Hogan, whom retiring Cmdr. Hawksby is grooming as William's second, develops an altogether more personal reason for going after Faulkner and, at long last, begins to litter the path he blazes to his quarry with the bodies of his agents. The mixture as before, for those who want another round.

   • content: Over My Dead Body continues the series that the author hopes will see William Warwick rise to be Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. William graduated from London University in 1982. He'd wanted to be a detective ever since he solved the mystery of the missing Mars bars at the age of eight.  After 16 weeks at Hendon Police College and two years on the beat, he sat and passed the detective examination. His early mentor, Constable Fred Yates with 28 years of service under his belt, introduced William to the ABC of policing: accept nothing, believe no-one, and challenge everything. William (now a detective chief inspector) has agreed to lead a cold case unit to deal with unsolved murders. Before doing so, he’s taking a few days to rest and recuperate: travelling to New York with his wife on the cruise liner, Alden. There’s a death on board and William suspects murder. He solves the case before the liner reaches New York. Five cases are re-examined by the newly formed investigation unit: a male who police are convinced murdered his wife after taking out a million-pound insurance policy on her life; a loan shark whose clients ‘disappear’ if they cannot repay; a bouncer at a club who killed a club member ‘accidentally’ but the police suspect premeditation; and two rival gang leaders both suspected of multiple killings. The beginning of Over My Dead Body is intriguing; the ending is exciting. In-between, the pace slows as there are too many meetings to discuss case developments.  It’s not a literary masterpiece. It’s an old-fashioned yarn involving goodies and baddies written in an easy-to-read style. Reviewed by Clive Hodges   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Published in 114 countries and more than 47 languages, with more than 750,000 5* reviews, Jeffrey Archer is firmly established as one of the world’s bestselling authors, with international sales passing 275 million copies. He is the only author ever to have been a number one bestseller in fiction (nineteen times), short stories (four times) and non-fiction (The Prison Diaries). Visit Jeffrey Archer's website
