Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Jeffrey Archer is not everybody's cup of tea, but he is a formidable writer. This book is no exception to his talent. A recommended read.

Over My Dead Body by Jeffrey Archer. Its been a while since I have read one of this author’s offerings so I was looking forward to the read!

Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick travelling on a luxury liner to New York with his wife for a holiday. He meets and is chatting to an interesting young man, James, while waiting for his wife on the ship. During the voyage one of the passengers, a very wealthy man, dies in suspicious circumstances who is related to James, sending DC Warwick on a hunt to find some clues. Back in the UK, a new Unsolved Murders Unit is being set up for four cases which have yet to be solved. DC Warwick has his work cut out for him!

Mr Archer knows how to pull the reader in. Clever plotting and a great storyline! Four stars. Thank you to

Like or loath him personally Archer does write a good yarn. He's clearly thought about the totality of the plot, planned the twists and turns in a formulaic manner.

Can't fault, again, the output, a good story in typical Archer genre.

This is the fourth book in the DCI William Warwick series. Warwick is up against his old adversary Miles Faulkner a wealthy but unscrupulous art collector. Faulkner supposedly died in the previous book but he has not fooled Warwick or his colleagues when he resurfaces with a different name having undergone plastic surgery to change his appearance. Faulkner’s wife Christina is a good friend of Warwicks wife Beth which only complicates matters further. The chase is on to recapture Faulkner, who had escaped custody then faked his own death in the previous book. There is also a sub plot running through the book. Warwicks Commanding Officer, The Hawk, has put together a number of police officers set with the task of solving five cold cases committed by some of the vilest low life London has to offer, The book is cleverly written and keeps you engaged throughout, but this is no surprise as Jeffrey Archer’s previous books prove that he is such a good story teller. Archer has made such well drawn characters you either like or loathe, this is the true gift of story telling. The story and character development is good, the plot is full of drama, the book holds your interest throughout. The book can be read on its own but in my opinion you should read the other three in the series to understand the plot running through them. This book is published 12th October so go out and buy the other three and read them first, you won’t be disappointed

First off its immediately clear this is not the first book in a series. I've not read the the others, and it didn't put me off continuing with the book, but they were talking about characters as if I should know who they are.

I enjoyed the start of the book on the ship - the crime is almost solved in this section, only thing is its not overly believable as you know you still have 3 quarters of the book to go. Its a very different style of writing detective novels than I have come across before an it was refreshing.

This was my first Jefferey Archer book and I look forward to reading more but i definitely think if you've read the previous books in the series you'll settle into it quicker than I did. I'd hope you have more understanding of the characters and their personalities.

This is book #4 of the William Warwick series. I would recommend reading the books in order, as in true Archer style each book is left on a cliffhanger with the next book picking up the story straight away. Chief Inspector Warwick is heading up the new Unsolved Murders Unit, whilst also in pursuit of the truth regarding the recently deceased art collector, Miles Faulkner. The book begins with Warwick and his wife, Beth on board a luxury liner to New York, where he finds himself in an unexpected investigation whilst he is on his holiday cruise!

As usual, the pace is fast and full of twists, turns, red herrings and dead ends. I have to admit, I struggled with William's character in the first book, but as the series moved on I warmed to him and welcomed him back like an old friend. We find ourselves, obviously, reconnecting with many of the regular characters and I really enjoyed D.I. Ross Hogan's storyline in this book. There are lots of storylines running alongside each other, each linking into each other effortlessly. The author does what he is SO good at, creating a story which captivates and mesmerised, with lots of clever plot changes and countless OMG moments!

This book is left on another cliffhanger, lining up book #5 perfectly! What will happen next? I just don't know! What I do know though is I will be eagerly awaiting news of when I will be able to pick up Warwick's story again. I've read so many of this author's books, and while he keeps writing such fantastic stories, I'll keep reading them! Would definitely recommend!

This is the first Jeffrey Archer book I've read, he's just not really been on my radar but this was pretty much what I expected. I felt like the writing style was lacking something (though I don't know what) but still the narrative and characters pull you in, I got into it fairly quickly and wish it was a little longer! Not much more to say as I feel like he's an author where you know what you're getting when you pick up one of his books!

An excellently written novel by an expert storyteller.

As you read, you peel back each of the layers of the story, creating interest and intrigue that keeps you reading until the last.

I would definitely recommend this book.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Another outing of William Warwick that will satisfy fans. Multi layered and very detailed plot makes for a typically entertaining read from Archer.

Over My Dead Body is the fourth book in the series featuring DCI William Warwick. The novel begins as William Warwick is on holiday heading towards New York on a luxury cruise. After a death occurs onboard, he is asked to investigate the mysterious surroundings. When he returns to London, his next task is to head up a new Unsolved Murders Unit set up by the Metropolitan Police. There are many strands to the plot line and it is incredibly difficult to summarise them all without giving away spoilers.
The novel is full of twists and has the usual engaging plot and superb writing I’ve come to expect from Jeffrey Archer. However, I would recommend reading the books in order even though they can be read as stand alone novels.

I'm finished with Over My Dead Body: I managed 68 pages before I gave up. I know Jeffrey Archer is a master of this kinda thing, and he can definitely write, it just wasn't for me.

I have read Jeffrey Archer books for many years and he never disappoints. He is always so knowledgeable about all his book subjects.

In this fourth book in the series, DS William Warwick is set the task of solving 4 cold cases in the new unsolved murder unit. Meanwhile, art collector Miles Faulkner is pronounced dead with a shroud of mystery around the circumstances.
Can the squad solves the crimes and figure out what Faulkner’s lawyer is up to?
Classic Archer!

Another fast paced thriller from Archer.
Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick heads up a cold case squad to catch the criminals who think they've got away with it.
Then there is the elusive Miles Faulkner. Surely he's dead, they attended his funeral but is he?
There are the regular characters.
Christina, Miles' ex wife who is about to marry again. Then there is the odious BW QC.
This really keeps you on your toes as we follow each team member assigned a cold case to solve.
We also find out more about Hogan who has been working under cover. He works well with Warwick.
Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Didn’t disappoint, but has left me wanting more, which I guess is the perfect combination. Looking forward to the next instalment!

Easy to read thriller, good to read Archer again. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read it.

Jeffrey Archer certainly knows how to write a good yarn. This William Warwick book, which is #4 in the series, is the best yet despite a somewhat slow start. Mile Faulkner is still at large, William Warwick is still wanting to get him back behind bars. And we join in the fun and thrills of the chase. What a chase it is. Loved it. With thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read and review and e-ARC of this title.

Another thrilling page turner from Jeffrey Archer. If you like his books then it has all of the usual thrills and spills, clever detection, intrigue, ruthless villains, wealthy rogues, treachery, expensive artwork, and plenty of glitz and glamour. If you don't like his books then look at yourself in the mirror and decide if you are a book snob. His books are easy to read with plenty of entertainment and satisfaction. He is a master story teller, and popular as proven by book sales. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC copy.

This is the fourth so the latest book of the DCI Warwick's series - but for me, it was the first book written by Jeffrey Archer. I could read the story without any disruption, even without the knowledge about the past events, but there are loads of reference to the past that made me so curious - I am keen to catch up on the earliest books.

Absorbing book, I found the opening of the book humorous. Brilliant writing, several threads, three murder cases and Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick. - only Warwick can solve these complicated cases. I enjoyed the plot on a cruise ship and really hope that James will appear in other stories. I also like Ross Hogan, ,who can still solve the case in a unique way. The characters are pretty authentic, especially in the dialogues - perfection. Plenty storylines that keep the reader occupied throughout the whole book. The story skips the from one scene to the other, changing the places and people involved. At the beginning, it makes me distracted, but it wasn't a huge issue and I've been able to focus more on these changes.

Lots of twists, shocking moments, tense and suspense.
Enjoyable gripping reading! Highly recommended.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins UK for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
