Product Description
Review
This is the 24th novel from a master storyteller and he does not disappoint with a tale of the apparent suicides of seven important strong men in a leaderless Europe. The protagonist believes the men were murdered and sets out to discover who is behind the atrocities. He finds a force of three ravishingly beautiful women, 'the sisterhood', controlled by an Eastern power, are responsible, and the reader is taken from Dorset to Slovakia on a chase that reaches a climax of epic proportions. (Kirkus UK)

This book will keep you guessing until the last minute, and will not let you put it down. It's a thrilling mystery, entwined with murder, suspence and carries the classic Forbes' touch. An excellent read for any fan and only start if you intend to spend hours reading! It will simply surpass all your expectations and leave you with a satisfaction that only the magic of Forbes' books can provide!

I cannot express the depth of my regrets for purchasing this book. It was clumsily written and did not credit the reader with any intelligence, repeating information continuously. At times the grammar was completely flawed and very awkward. I hope that any other books by this author are not as poor as this. A great disappointment after hearing so many good reviews. I can only assume that those who recommended this book/author were in a state where their intelligence was severly impaired when reading/recommending this book!

Format:Paperback
I agree with the other 2 reviewers that this was probably the worst book I have ever read in terms of grammar, dialogue and the flow of writing. I cannot believe I read it to the end! It read like a book written in 1968 not 1998 - very sexist and so old fashioned. Don't bother.

Yet another incredibly stilted piece of writing
A potentially good plot ... spoilt by the incredibly stilted writing of the author. This is the second and last book of Mr Forbes I have read. Read more

mystery and tense nearly until the end
Once started you hope you will have the time to read it all in one. So far one of his most thrilling books written.

Forbes is reviving the spark which made his novels so good
Many of his recent novels have had a certain sameness, but there is a more refreshing look to The Sisterhood. Read more
