The Clifton Chronicles Coming to an End
If you’re looking for something to accompany you on a long trip or a summer vacation, I think you’ll love the great storytelling of Jeffrey Archer.
I’ve now finished Cometh the Hour (#6 of 7), and on a long flight, started on the final chapter, This Was a Man, closing in on the end of the 2,500 page Clifton Chronicles series.
You may be tired of hearing about it, but if you like books in the Mystery-Thriller-Suspense genre … with plenty of intrigue, betrayal and treachery … with a few untimely deaths mixed in … the Clifton Chronicles will give you many hours … MANY HOURS … of a compelling story.
An impressive accomplishment for Jeffrey Archer, whose books have sold more than 300 million copies. As always, you absolutely need to start with Book #1, Only Time Will Tell.
If you’re looking for a shorter burst, you can always head over to the The Novels I’m Reading page for a multitude of great novels in the Mystery-Thriller-Suspense genre.
