An Eye for an Eye

An Eye for an Eye is a Jeffrey Archer thriller, which means plotting that tightens steadily and a final turn held back until it can do the most damage. Archer has spent decades on this kind of construction, and the appeal is craft rather than novelty: short chapters, clean prose, characters established quickly and a storyline built around justice, retribution and the compromises people make when the two pull in opposite directions. The pace assumes a reader who wants to keep going rather than stop and reflect. Harper Collins publishes this edition, which sits comfortably beside the rest of his crime and thriller output. On the shelf: • Short chapters that keep the pace moving through the book • A storyline turning on justice set against retribution • Plot construction of the kind Archer is known for • A Harper Collins edition matching his other thriller titles A straightforward pick for thriller readers, followers of Jeffrey Archer's earlier books and anyone after a fast holiday read, available from Boipoka.
