I like that it’s a simple linear format and the complexity comes from all of the detail and some context switching. I’m really enjoying Jeffrey Archers writing in this serious. There’s still more I’d like to know about some members of the team and there was definitely a teaser at the end of the book that leads me to believe that I will get that from the third book. I definitely felt that their bonds had grown the longer that they had worked together, including the odd bit of banter between them which made me smile. I loved that the team got to stay together even though they moved departments. My opinion of Sir Julian definitely shifted during this book I felt like I saw a much softer side to him. It was lovely to see them working together and the pride he had for both of his kids even though he didn’t initially approve of William’s career choice. I enjoyed learning more about Grace and her relationship with her father. I mentioned in my review of Nothing Ventured that I wanted to know more about some of the characters and Hidden in Plain Sight delivered. It worked particularly well in this book and made me feel a closer connection to the story and the characters. I really liked the way that Jeffrey Archer mixed the personal struggles with the professional ones. We are still treated to updates on William’s personal life and it was lovely to see his relationship with Beth grow and to follow them on the next steps in their lives. I felt like I had as much riding on the arrest of Rashidi as the detectives did. The book is still about William’s career but I thought that there was a little more focus on the investigation in this one and I really got hooked into the case.
