I don't want to do much of 'review'ing this fun ride by the master of fun rides. Though there were a few questions that were left unanswered and much of the action was far-fetched, this novel held my attention and thoroughly entertained me. So, I got what I expected, and that's it! ( )

I previously was of the opinion that Jeffrey Archer wrote trash books, as that is what I've heard whenever people speak of his writing. Whilst from a literary stand point they may be trash, I am pleased to come to the realisation that from an entertainment standpoint they really are quite entertaining and enjoyable. I previously liked The Eleventh Commandment and seeing this, A Matter of Honour, buried in a pile of paperbacks I thought I'd dig it out and give it a shot - I was not disappointed. Not at all.

Set in 1966 A Matter of Honour is quite the spy romp, whilst the main character himself isn't a spy per se, he nonetheless is thrust into the world of international men of mystery when his father bequests to him an envelope within which is a letter from Hermann Goring (the German Reichsmarschall) containing instructions enabling him to collect a Russian artifact which was seized by the Nazis.

Whilst the plot itself is out there, it's not so out there that it ruins the story with a lack of belief, instead the reader is drawn into a battle between the average ordinary man and forces he doesn't initially understand and that have vastly more resources at their disposal.

The story stretches across Europe as the protagonist tries desperately to get home to England with seemingly the world on his heels.

One might even dare to say the finale of the book was even exciting. ( )

Brilliant thriller. Archer at his best. ( )

A Matter Of Honour was different for me to read compared with Archer's other narratives, as I wasn't hooked in the same way as I have found previously. It was a relatively quick read but it took some time before I was really, fully engrossed in the story. It still had the usual Archer elements of daring plot twists and turns and had me trying to think ahead, to what I would do next in the same situation. But it still felt like something was missing - not sure what. It just didn't live up to A Prisoner of Birth or Kane and Abel, but not a bad read. ( )
