Publisher's summary

1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor’s deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father’s office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma’s son, who ultimately influences his uncle’s fate.

In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.

Can't wait for Book 4!

Would you consider the audio edition of Best Kept Secret: Clifton Chronicles, Book 3 to be better than the print version?

Loved listening to this whole series, Archer leaves cliff hanger endings that make you so edgy to read the next one!

Continually engrossing story

This far into a series of books it would be expected that the story might be losing some of its direction or interest but not at all. I really can’t wait to download the fourth book. Archer is a good story teller and every chapter is necessary and engaging.

enjoyable and engaging, but not as good as previou

Archer is still holding my interest, but barely. His first 2 books in the series were much better I think. Perhaps the story needs to conclude very soon.

A captivating series

Book 3 takes up the story and leads the listener along a well worn path. I continued to enjoy the Clifton Chronicles, and I am looking forward to the next instalment. I enjoyed the narration - Alex Jennings really brings the characters to life, but the performance would be improved with the addition of a female narrator. Bring on book 4
