Publisher's Summary
Nominated for the Audiobook Download of the Year, 2008.
With a twisting plot of false accusation and revenge, A Prisoner of Birth is an exhilarating novel from bestselling author, Jeffrey Archer.
If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson the day before, or the day after, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend.
And when the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat and the youngest partner in an established firm's history, who is going to believe his side of the story.
Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and is sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped.
But everyone has underestimated Danny's determination to seek revenge and Beth's relentless quest to win justice . . .

I love it
I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t wait to consume it all. As usual there were some far fetched plot lines, but I was riveted all the way!

Loved it.
This is a great story and a very clever, modern reflection of The Count of Monte Cristo. Roger Allan brings it to life wonderfully. I wish Archer had made it as epic as Dumas paced unfolding of plotting and revenge. it seemed to be over so easily and quickly as it raced toward the ending. I would like to have had more feeling and detail given to the characters experiences rather than it being left to my imagination. Who am I to criticise a great writer though!

The story was outstanding story telling
Outstanding character development. Brilliant narration, I thought 7 people were in within the book. Especially enjoyed the Glasweigen. Thank you Mr Archer for yet another brilliant book. I now have the whole set on Audible, please transfer more.

TWISTS & TURNS ABOUND
Jeffrey Archer is a master storyteller. This is one of his best, even though I enjoy all of his books. Twists and turns are the name of the game here as the story unfolds. It will keep you guessing. A great read from start to finish.
