Description
Danny, an East End Cockney, leaves Clement Attlee Comprehensive School at the age of 15 to take up a job at a local garage. He falls in love with Beth, the boss's daughter, and asks her to marry him.
Spencer Craig resides in the West End. A graduate of an English public school and Cambridge University, he becomes a criminal barrister and is soon tipped to be the youngest Queen's Counsel of his generation.
Danny and Beth travel up to the West End to celebrate their engagement. They end the evening in a wine bar where Spencer Craig is also celebrating - his 30th birthday, along with a select group of university chums.
Their lives will never be the same again. For, an hour later, one of them is arrested for murder, while the other ends up as the prosecution's chief witness in an Old Bailey trial.

One of Jeffrey’s best
Great story, blatant plagiarism based on the Count of Monte Christo done brilliantly with English flair.
Jeffrey doesn’t disappoint. Much from his own experience in prison- itself a travesty of justice.
Thoroughly enjoyable with more twists that a packet of pretzels.

The Book I Wished For
What could I say? I loved it. The book had everything I hoped for in a plot. Great characters, great twists, legal battles, smart negotiations, background histories, a love story and a sweet revenge. I am a Dumas fan and I agree with the author that it was a challenge to write his own Count of Montecristo. But I believe Archer made a wonderful job for the modern reader. If I could say one negative thing about the book was the fact that it took me a while to warm up to Beth. I admired her loyalty, but couldn’t feel all that the author was trying to convey about her.

This book really got me in!
A thoroughly absorbing tale. Some delightfully humorous Courtroom scenes. A well constructed story that I had difficulty putting down!

Another fantastic Archer book
A great story of one losing a friend and getting accused by his murderer and then finding a way to get even.
The story is most gripping.
Well performed with excellent change of accents.

I loved this book. The Best Jeffrey Archer ever. Could hardly breathe as I listened to the last chapters.
And 10 out of 10 to Roger Allam.

Worth six stars
Cling to your earphones or car stereo! This book will keep you listening. What a story and what a narrator. While listening I gave up trying to anticipate what will happen next - I was wrong every time. Well done JA

Einfach nur toll!!
Eine super Geschichte, spannend erzählt vom Anfang bis zum Ende. Sie wird nie langweilig, hat einiges an Inhalt zu bieten und dann wird sie auch noch wirklich toll gelesen, allein das wäre schon 5 Sterne wert. Ich kann es nicht abwarten wieder ins Auto zu kommen und das Aussteigen und Abschalten fällt auch sehr schwer. Ich würde mir eine 10 Sterneskala wünschen, dann könnte man besser differenzieren zwischen guten und sehr guten Geschichten und eben sehr schlechten, die keinen Stern wert sind.

absolut wert zu hören
Das Thema ist ähnlich dem "der Graf von Monte Christo", aber auf eine Art geschrieben, welche es fast unmöglich macht, zu unterbrechen. Der Vortrag von Roger Allam ist ebenfalls vom Feinsten. Es ist unvorstellbar wie die Stunden verfliegen, wobei die Spannung bis zur letzten Minute anhält. Eines von wenigen Büchern bei dem der Player das Auto verlassen hat, um mich beim Joggen zu begleiten.

Great story
Lovely story, especially the first part is quite unpredictable. I really like the plot and the different "storylines". Amazing book! Also lovely message and Titel.

Interesting story, with some twists
I liked listening to it (and this is the measure I put on any book). There are twists and turns, a happy and and a hero which is sympathetic. The bad guys get what they deserve at the end.

Monte Christo lässt grüssen...
Viel Spannung dank einer durchgängigen Geschichte in Anlehnung an " Der Graf von Monte Christo". Wirklich hörenswert wenn auch im dritten Teil es für mich eher zu durchschaubar war.
10 Stunden tolle Unterhaltung!
