  A Dangerous Fortune

  Another well written novel by Ken Follett.

  A great insight into the 1860 London high life and low life. A mysterious accident leads to years of cover ups, fueled by greed. Many twists and turns, a real page turner!

  a 5-star book!

  This book rivets the reader to its pages from the very beginning!!

  For years, I've been reckoning "The Pillars of the Earth" as Ken Follett's best book.

  I was probably wrong.

  It starts in 1866 at an exclusive English school and you wonder where and when it will stop. You know by now that I am a fan of Follett. So why don't you read this one book and make up your own mind about him?
