Praise for Nothing Ventured, the launch of the series
"An expert juggling act that ends with not one but two intercut trials. More, please." —Kirkus Reviews
"A fully realized character, the intelligent Warwick is ambitious but naive with a lot to learn. He’s surrounded by a distinctive cast of family, colleagues, and villains... The final section dealing with dueling courtroom dramas brings genuine suspense to a relatively bloodless, but thoroughly gripping, tale. Archer reinforces his position as a master storyteller.” —Publishers Weekly
"Archer has a real gift for family sagas, and here, with Warwick, he’s launching what promises to be a series just as riveting as the Clifton Chronicles . . . Readers who know Warwick from the Chronicles will be interested to learn more about him...but previous knowledge of the character is certainly not necessary to enjoy this first in what we hope will be a long series.” —Booklist
"A story that builds in intensity . . . Archer’s numerous fans will appreciate another dramatic, character-driven mystery set in the world of art, police work, and court trials.” —Library Journal (starred review)
