False Impression
I recently read Jeffrey Archer's latest novel, "False Impression". It was disappointing, especially considering that it comes from the author of such classics such as "Not a Penny More ...", "As the Crow Flies ..." etc.
The plot was weak and predictable, there was an unlovable dimunitive female assasin and there was an annoyingly efficient dolt of a heroine.
(Its 4:57 AM, I am at Chennai airport waiting for a flight, after having stayed up the whole night - Thats the reason for the extra vitriol !)
One thing that struck me a couple of times while I read the novel was how similar the book's writing style was to Sidney Sheldon's !
Is Sidney Sheldon's new pen name Jeffrey Archer ?!
