So, this was a weird, addictive series. A celebration of decent conservatism and of noble capitalim, which in real life do not exist. Everyone in this family saga is either extremely talented and clever, or extremely bad. Money is no problem. We are talking upper upper class, here.

The last book is just the closing of the curtain. But the earlier ones are full of intrigue and suspense. They read like a rollercoaster, so Archer certainly know how to time his plots.

It was a very pleasant yet never deep story, placed in politics and board rooms, and it gives you a glimpse of how some British conservatives must see their group.
