Best Kept Secret by Jeffery Archer ***

Book Three of the Clifton Chronicles.
Giles Barrington is re-elected as MP, with assistance from Harry Clifton son, Sebastian. Sebastian has a friend, Bruno, whose father turns out to be a mafia type fellow, who sends Seb to Argentina on a money- laundering mission,,without Seb ever finding out what it was all about - no, really- there is so much in these stories that is so implausible- there are potentially dangerous or scandalous situations that hold your interest, but it all ends up so disappointedly neutral. Giles' wife is so evil, but Giles never realizes it. Seb never knows what was in that statue. And I think Seb's going to fall in love with his step sister. But they are light reading, and always a cliff hanger ending. in this one, Sebastian and Bruno are in a sports car, being followed closely by a lorry. there is a collision and someone is killed, but we don't know who. I say it's Bruno, because Seb has to survive, he's a main character! Stay tuned.
