False Impression
Recently finished “reading” False Impression, by Jeffrey Archer. It’s been so long since I added it to my Audible queue, I can’t remember why I did it. Probably because it got good ratings and was recommended by Audible in one of their “buy more books” emails.
Oh well, in any case it was an ok book. But barely. It was one of the typical formulaic thrillers that always seem to sell well in these last few years (think anything by Dan Brown…).
Short summary: Some baddies do some bad stuff. Some records they need are in the World Trade Center. On September 11th. All of the main players make it out alive (duh), but now there’s sudden intrigue about whether the heroine can “save the day” based on the lost records and some other ingenuity. Occasionally they refer to “Safety Deposit Boxes” (ugh, now there’s a pet peeve).
It held my attention, but mostly just to see if the “twists and turns” would really be as predictable as it seemed. They were. And they all lived happily ever after.
