About this listen

Jeffrey Archer, one of the greatest popular novelists of our generation, delivers a truly page-turning thriller in False Impression.

When an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered in her country home the night before 9/11, it takes all the resources of the FBI and Interpol to work out the connection between her and the possible motive for her death –a priceless Van Gogh painting. It's a young woman, who was in the North Tower when the first plane crashed into the building, who has the courage and determination to take on both sides of the law and avenge the old lady's death.

Anna Petrescu is missing, presumed dead, after 9/11 and she uses her new status to escape from America, only to be pursued across the world from Toronto to London, to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest, but it is only when she returns to New York that the mystery unfolds.

Why are so many people willing to risk their own lives and others' to own the Van Gogh Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear?

There seems to be a similar thread running through several J.Archer books and they involve masterpieces of art. It's a great way to improve one's knowledge whilst enjoying an exciting story!

False Impression is well worth listening to.

Another great story with intrigue and suspense,

So you know what you're getting, right ? A cracking read from start to finish with enough twists and turns to almost make you insane. Well, not quite - yes, this is an excellent story but for some reason it is difficult to get into at the start. It is worth persevering though as it does pick up and ultimately delivers the goods.

I gave it four stars rather than five as it was so hard to get into at the start that I stop/started with it several times whereas Jeffrey normally engages you right off the bat.

Its Jeffrey Archer, darling

What can you say about a book like this?.... It's gripping, sensational and a thoroughly excellent read. I have listened to this over and over and still enjoy it. Anton Lesser is magnificent as the narrator - More please!....

Another Gold Start for JA....

I never quite got into it, not one of archers best but worth a read.

Quite slow but grows

You can normally rely on Archer to supply you with a riveting read - and this is no exception.

Although a slow start, you are soon sent rocketing through a series of twists and turns that will keep you listening to the end (many a night parked on the drive for an extra ten minutes, just to hear what happened next!)

Slow Start - But soon grips you
