About this listen

Jeffrey Archer's first novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, is gripping tale of fraud, revenge and determination as four men stop at nothing to get back what was stolen from them.

One million dollars – that's what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men – the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don – find themselves penniless. But this time Harvey has swindled the wrong men. They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot and the hallowed lawns of Oxford.

Their plan is simple: to sting the crook for exactly what they lost – not a penny more, not a penny less.

A thoroughly good read.

What did you like most about Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less?

A really good gripping story. I enjoyed as much as I did the first time I read it in the mid 70s. It's one of those"old-fashioned" stories with a really bad baddie. I loved the twist in the tale at the end, too.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less?

The last bit! But I won't spoil it!

Archer is the ultimate storyteller

I thought I’d listened to all of Archer’s books -until I realised I’d missed Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less.

Although shorter than his other novels it’s equally enjoyable, full of twists and tales.

Archer is without equal as an author.

An enjoyeable listen

A great plot written by one of the greatest British storytellers of our time. In addition, it couldn't have been read by a better narrator.
