Publisher Description

A thrilling novel of suspense from the international bestselling author of The Clifton Chronicles, Jeffery Archer's False Impression. Why was an elegant lady brutally murdered the night before 9/11? Why was a successful New York banker not surprised to receive a woman's left ear in the morning mail? Why did a top Manhattan lawyer work only for one client, but never charge a fee? Why did a young woman with a bright career steal a priceless Van Gogh painting? All these questions and more are answered in Jeffrey Archer's novel, False Impression, but not before a breathtaking journey of twists and turns that will take readers from New York to London to Bucharest and on to Tokyo, and finally a sleepy English village, where the mystery of Van Gogh's last painting will finally be resolved.

"this is a great novel. we heard the book on tape on a recent vacation and it's very gripping. it did get a little boring in parts, from 9 CDs it could've been curtailed down to 7 I think. But Archer does really well in spinning a really exciting plot and kept us awake during our road trip."

    " I listened to this book on CDs. It was alot of fun and held my attention and very well read but certainly n;ot of a caliber of many of the other books I have read. It is close to what I would call a 'beach book' which I like to read sometimes but all the time. "

    " The first third of the book is terribly predictable. The second third picks up with more of a thriller feel as the story progresses, but unfortunately the final third reverts to its predictable ways, and the ending leaves the reader unsatisfied. The plot devices are tired and over-used, a romance is wedged forcefully into the story and the brief swearing is one-off and absolutely pointless. All in all, False Impression is a cheesy thriller whose only offering is a novelty theme, and even that was deemed not interesting enough by the author given that it needed to be spiced up with an unrelated secondary plot about the events of 9/11.

    " A nice casual read. I really loved the insider's account on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and all those facts on art history and life of Van Gogh. Quite like 'The Da Vinci Code' in that respect but definitely NOT a masterpiece! If you're looking for a fast-paced with an equal balance of fact and fiction minus the complexities of the conventional Dan Brown novels, this is the book for you. It has crime and criminals, some really interesting characters and a well-conceived plot. But if you're looking for a mind-blowing, unforgettable read, move on and pick up something else! "

    " A BRILLIANT story showing a connection between the work of a corrupt bank manager and 9/11. Although the book was fictional, the author did a wonderful job of integrating real life events surrounding 9/11. It was gripping the whole time and a great read for art enthusiasts. "
