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?

Would you listen to False Impression again? Why?

I have enjoyed many of Jeffery Archer's books. This book was no exception. The story was well put together as always and very easy read/listen to.

What did you like best about this story?

Connection with the art world (my mum was an art dealer and I use to attend Sotheby's & Christies' auction from the age of 16).

Have you listened to any of Lorelei King’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all the Kay Scarpetta series read by Lorelei King and I always enjoyed her performance. This one was no exception.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was quite sad when her driver was murdered in her home country, loved the way Anna has out smarted her former boss and suspense when the killer was in her room.
