Be Careful What You Wish For: The Clifton Chronicles 4
Be Careful What You Wish For: The Clifton Chronicles 4 | Jeffrey Archer
The fourth book in the internationally bestselling Clifton Chronicles from master storyteller Jeffrey Archer "One of the top ten storytellers in the world." Los Angeles Times Be Careful What You Wish For opens with Harry Clifton and his wife Emma rushing to hospital to learn the fate of their son Sebastian, who has been involved in a fatal car accident. But who died, Sebastian or his best friend Bruno? When Ross Buchanan is forced to resign as chairman of the Barrington Shipping Company, Emma Clifton wants to replace him. But Don Pedro Martinez intends to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, in order to destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to build its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham. Back in London, Harry and Emma's adopted daughter wins a scholarship to the Slade Academy of Art where she falls in love with a fellow student, Clive Bingham, who asks her to marry him. Both families are delighted until Priscilla Bingham, Jessica's future mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend, Lady Virginia Fenwick, who drops her particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice. Then, without warning, Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshireman who no one has come across before, takes his place on the board of Barringtons. This causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated, and will change the lives of every member of the Clifton and Barrington families. Hardcastle's first decision is who to support to become the next chairman of the board: Emma Clifton or Major Alex Fisher? And with that decision, the story takes yet another twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Be Careful What You Wish For showcases the master storyteller's talent as never before - when the Clifton and Barrington families march forward into the sixties, in this epic tale of love, revenge, ambition and betrayal.

Loved it! What an author ❣️ what a story ❣️ Love and hate the characters. This series is breaking my heart, but also giving me hope. The cliffhanger endings are nerve wracking, but I guess that‘s the point. I hate that I‘ve already read 4/7 books in the series, because I don‘t want this family saga to end. #SeriesLove2023 Read any standalones by Archer?

EadieB I‘ve read his Kane and Abel series and also William Warrick series. All 5 star books! 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB Agree with Eadie, and following on from Kane and Abel, The Prodigal Daughter and Shall We Tell The President.

Of his standalone enjoyed many years ago First Among Equals, A Matter of Honour.

More recently really enjoyed Paths of Glory (George Mallory story) and The Fourth Estate.

This is book 4 in The Clifton Chronicles. I enjoyed it immensely. However, these books leave you with a HUGE cliffhanger every time and this one is no exception. Not a fan of them and have been known not to read the next book in protest. Nevertheless this series is so addictive I can't help myself. I will just have to suffer through until the end.

Don Pedro Martinez is willing to take extreme steps to destroy the Clifton and Barrington families. They plan to fight back hard. Just as they think they‘re winning Author Archer leaves us with a cliffhanger, the brat. 😂
