False Impression is a fiction penned by the famous English author Jeffery Archer.It is a mystery thriller where the author with its cunning plots and silken style plays cat and mouse game with the reader.The story takes place in the backdrop of the 9/11 incident of tremendous destruction in New York city. The story begins when an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered the night before 9/11 in her country home in England and the probable motive behind this is a Van Gogh painting. The main characters in the novel are Anna Petruscu,a young woman working in the North Tower under Bryce Fenston,owner of a bank.Anna who eventually holds the key to the mystery goes missing, presumed dead post 9/11 incident. The story kept me anxious, excited and thrilled till the end with its sudden twists and turns.It is an extraordinary work which reveals the author's literary competence and command over the language.I would recommend this book to someone who takes great amazement in mysteries, thrills, action sequences. The question to which you would like to seek the answer throughout the story is-"Why are so many people willing to risk their lives and others to own the Van Gogh Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear?"
