Although this isn’t the type of book that I normally read, I thoroughly enjoyed Jeffrey Archer’s novel “A Prisoner of Birth.” Full of suspense, it is a book that follows the trial and conviction of Danny Cartwright for the murder of his best friend and future brother-in-law. Funnily enough the book only truly begins once Danny is in jail and he struggles with being imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. Archer story takes a page from Alexandre Dumas by mirroring the plot of The Count of Monte Cristo, yet he creates wonderful characters and an intriguing plot, which makes you forget that this story is a slight retread of a story you’ve already heard. “A Prisoner of Birth” is a quick read because you can’t wait to get to the end and see how Archer will resolve his plot to see if the bad guys really get their comeuppance.
