Intriguing sequel
Enjoyed being along for the ride with the same characters from the first book, with a couple of new additions. Although the plot wears slightly predictable there were a couple of unexpected turns which made for a pleasurable read.

Loved the first, won't be reading the third
I liked the first in this series so much that I jumped to get this second one. And maybe it's just me, but there were so many plots and characters that I started to get a bit bothered & bored keeping up with them all. Then the end left so many things (still) hanging that rather than feeling the need to go on to the third book, I, instead, feel the need to drop out.

smashingly good!
Never a dull moment for the Warwicks. So many questions! Will they ever catch miles? Will william really go to law school? Can’t wait to read the next book.

Interesting
Jeffery Archer is an excellent writer. The finish of this story will be out in April. I like the William Warwick series as it is an easy read and entertaining. The book is still tracking art thief Faulkner and introduced a new character, Rashidi, a drug dealer. While Faulkner managed to escape the police at his mother’s funeral, Rashidi is still in jail. Faulkner managed to burn down a house he owned after stealing the valuable paintings inside so that his estranged wife was unable to profit from any of it. I am waiting for the next installment to see if William Warwick remains with the police or decides on a different path!

2nd of the William Warwick series by Jeffrey Archer
Delightful continuation of the adventures of William Warwick, special agent at Scotland Yard. Only two of the series in print presently. Love the character along with this girlfriend and father, a QC at the Bar and sister, also a barrister.

ENTHRALLING ESCAPADES.
Recommend reading the 1st volume of the "Detective William Warwick" series entitled "Nothing Ventured," as this novel is its continuing sequel. The 1st volume sets the foundation of each character, the nuances of relationships, and, intrinsic motivations causing behavioral actions. This second volume subsequently expands upon the intriguing plots introduced by "Nothing Ventured." An enjoyable suspense.

Such a fascinating and clever book!
“So far, everything had gone like clockwork, but the Hawk knew only too well that you can’t plan for the unexpected”Jeffrey Archer's William Warwick series continues with another excellent book. Set in the late 1980s, this crime drama will undoubtedly transport the readers back in time and is sure to please many.William Warwick who has now been promoted to Detective Sergeant, is currently assigned to a narcotics unit. He and his colleagues are tasked with investigating and apprehending Viper, an infamous drug dealer who controls half of South London and goes to considerable lengths to conceal his identity and methods. William accidentally bumps into an old friend, who aids him in closing the net on a big narcotics enterprise and take down its lord. Along the way, he also encounters an old foe, Miles Faulkner. It would take all of William's intellect and ingenuity to concoct a plan to bring down all foes, a trap that none will suspect, hidden in plain sight. And what a trap that was!This second instalment is yet another interesting character-driven plot in which these characters take on corrupt criminals in a battle of wits. It is an exciting novel that features a compelling historical crime drama. With a wide range of gripping scenes, such as heart pounding police raids, meticulous hearings, devious sting schemes and intriguing courtroom episodes, the readers are totally in for a wonderful ride. The author has packed so many twists and turns into the book that the reader is often perplexed as to who succeeds and where the plot goes next.The storyline that is so profoundly driven or shaped by the excellent characters such as William Warwick, an intelligent, determined, and upright police officer who has devoted his life to fighting crime, has largely been the subject of the tale. Also, besides Warwick, the author has dedicated much of the novel to a number of important other characters such as his family, his confreres and his enemies. The author weaves his plot from a number of varied viewpoints, resulting in a vibrant and diverse narrative that delves into the lives of many interesting characters and some fantastic villains. The exploration of these different characteristics has contributed to the beautiful rhythm of the novel. And, the heartfelt exchanges between William and his father, Grace and his father, and Beth and William added beautiful touches to the novel, as did the suspense of unravelling the mystery and bringing down the drug lord's domination.With his unique style of weaving the plot with twists and turns, good chapter length, and such nuanced details, the book is sure to engross readers in such a compelling narrative. The novel ends on a cliff-hanger leaving the readers wanting for more. All in all, Hidden in Plain sight is a fascinating and ingenious book that is recommended to all those who enjoy good old historical crime fiction drama and for everyone else too.
