Publisher's Summary

"'Turn a Blind Eye' is a highly enjoyable episode in this ongoing series - in no small measure due to the talented Blagden’s versatile and spot-on vocal interpretations of each character in the large cast." (NJ.com)

Turn a Blind Eye is the third installment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and number one New York Times best-selling author of the Clifton Chronicles.

Newly promoted to Detective Inspector, William Warwick is tasked with a dangerous new line of work, to go undercover and expose crime of another kind: corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan Police Force. Along with detectives Rebecca Pankhurst and Nicky Bailey, his team is focused on following Detective Jerry Summers, a young officer whose lifestyle exceeds his income. But the investigation risks being compromised when Nicky falls for Summers.

Meanwhile, notorious drug baron Assem Rashidi goes on trial, defended by Booth Watson QC, while William’s father Sir Julian and sister Grace lead the prosecution case. And William’s wife Beth, now a new mother to twins, makes a surprising new friend in Christina Faulkner - the ex-wife of William’s former rival, criminal financier Miles - who has not only turned over a new leaf, but also has a new-found source of income when Faulkner dies suddenly of a heart attack and she stands to be sole inheritor of his estate.

As the undercover officers start to draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go deeper still, and more of his colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind eye.

Another Great Archer Novel

I have listened to the previous two books in the series. The series had a short but a good start, the second book was not as good as the first. So I was worried about this one, but no worries the story is excellent. It will make you look forward to the next book as well as giving you closure in this one.

There are always bunch of "googlie"s in Archer novels and this one surely has its share. I dont need to mention the characters because this is a Sir Archer novel for God's Sake. You want to be one of the good guys and the bad is very common very familiar in everyday life.

My only question is how come West Ham Soccer Club was not mentioned in this book?

Also sometimes narration kills a good book but George Blagden is the reason why this book is not just very good but excellent.

Can't wait for the next book in the series

I really enjoy the narrator, I thought he did an excellent job. As to the book itself, I am a Archer fan from way back and I love this new series and can't wait to read the next book. William and Beth are excellent characters, as well as the other members of William's team. I particularly like Grace and Claire.

Engaging Series

I am quite engrossed in this ongoing series. I am curious to see how Booth Watkins finally slips up and entraps himself.

Mystery Maven

This is a marvelous series. Still hanging for the major “crime” but the sub-stories are outstanding. On to the next entry.

Not Bad

I am giving just 3 stars because this book is not up to the level of some of Archer’s other book. I found it slow and disappointing for much of the book. It had a few interesting things happen as the story developed but overall it was just average. Perhaps I expect too much.
