The thrilling novel that launched #1 New York Times bestseller Jeffrey Archer's career, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less.
THE SWINDLE IS INGENIOUS
The conned: an Oxford don, a revered society physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord. They have one thing in common. Overnight, each novice investor lost his life's fortune to one man. The con: Harvey Metcalfe. A brilliant, self-made guru of deceit. A very dangerous individual. And now, a hunted man.
SO IS THE REVENGE
With nothing left to lose, four strangers are about to come together—each expert in their own field. Their plan: find Harvey, shadow him, trap him, and penny-for-penny, destroy him. From the luxurious casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot to the bustling streets of Wall Street to fashionable London galleries, their own ingenious game has begun.
It's called revenge—and they were taught by a master.

What a Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Archer’s writing style is very distinctive:
• Very little dialogue.
• A lot of “showing” - No need to exercise your imagination.
• A propensity to explain plans in minute detail. Sometimes I swear he was reading off a spread sheet! I am paraphrasing here, but not exaggerating : “He owes fifty eight thousand four hundred and nine dollars and fifty two cents, and paid twenty seven thousand six hundred and seventy eight dollars and ninety seven cents, so his remaining balance is thirty thousand seven hundred and thirty dollars and fifty five cents”
• Books that feel like a collection of short stories.
• Any excuse to show off his research.
If you like his style then you’ll enjoy this adventure; it felt nostalgic to me somehow, like an 80s miniseries.

With touches of a Count of Monte Christo type revenge plot, the story is enjoyable but just not as gripping as some of Archer's other efforts. The let down comes with the way the story winds down and concludes.
Overall it's a decent story with a great narrator so I'd recommend it.
None better than John Lee

Where does Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I rate my audiobooks by placing them into two categories, Read Again or Don't Read Again. While this was a good book it would not fall into the Read Again list.What did you like best about this story?
The story was about 4 men who were working to get even with someone who had taken advantage of them in the past. Each had to come up with a plan for revenge so money could be taken from him and the methods and plans they came up with were very entertaining.Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
John Lee is in my top 3 narrators ... possibly number 1! He is AMAZING! I have listed to him on MANY books and he never disappoints. He is absolutely brilliant.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I like books that are longer, 15 - 40 hours. So listening to this all in one sitting is just not doable ... but when I go to my car for lunch each day just so I can listen to my book in peace and quiet, it's a good book. I did this with this book!Any additional comments?
I believe anyone would enjoy this novel. Revenge can be sweet!Drama, Suspense, Entertainment!
