"This is the third Jeffery Archer book I have read in quite a short period of time and after being initially disappointed with A Matter of Honor and then being taken away with the brilliance of Kane and Abel, this book proves a happy medium, it is good without being spectacular. The plot line of out swindling the swindler is a clever one and the schemes the author has devised are ingenious and was the highlight of the book. Once again the detail within the book was slightly disappointing, I know that this is a relatively short book and therefore doesn't leave much time for going into great detail on things but I found that the authors descriptions did not alway paint the full picture of the scene which made it a little more difficult to visualise what was going on."

'Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less' [is] read by Martin Jarvis, who switched voices so quickly that not a beat is lost in th[is] fast-moving mystery.
— Patriot NewsThere isn't a better storyteller alive.
— Larry KingOne of the top ten storytellers in the world.
— Los Angeles Times“Archer is a master storyteller.
— Time" One of my all-time favourite books. I know that well educated English majors aren't supposed to love Jeffrey Archer - but this book is a beaut with twists and turns - redemption - vengeance - and the fact it is inspired real life events than happened to Jeffrey Archers himself as a younger man makes it all the more realistic.

— Nikki, 2/18/2014" Read him years ago. English, loved it cause it surprises. "
— Donna, 2/16/2014" Even though it was set in the Pre-electronic revolution, this comedic take on the nature of debt is another great title from Archer. The characters in this book complement each other, and like another Archer novel, expect dashes of humour throughout this book that make it an enjoyable read! "

— Lucy, 2/12/2014" I loved this book when i read it many years ago, and i loved it now. It is clever and amusing. So very British. Most of the action is so old school - not cell phones or internet in those days. A lovely blast from the past! "
