There are many parallel events which come across as jumbled pieces that, at times, don't seem to fit together. It is highly recommended that you read the first three books of the series before tackling this one, so that you have a complete idea of what the Clifton Chronicles are about. Since it is the fourth novel of the series, not many details of the plot background and the character histories are elaborated upon in this book. Thus begins a tale of ambition, betrayal and vengeance.ĭespite the fast-paced plot, Be Careful What You Wish For is simultaneously intriguing and frustrating. A personal tragedy at the start of the book deepens Martinez's thirst for revenge.
Martinez is hell-bent on destroying the Barringtons, and is prepared to use any means necessary to achieve his goal, regardless of who ends up hurt - or dead - in the process. Like all of Archer's bestsellers, this one too plunges straight into the heart of the action-packed plot - though calling it a series of plots might be a better description. Set mostly in England and spanning the years 1957 to 1964, it follows the fortunes of the Clifton-Barrington family as they have a face off with Don Pedro Martinez, an Argentinean smuggler who becomes a sworn enemy after being thwarted - in the preceding book - in his bid to smuggle counterfeit currency into England. Be Careful What You Wish For is the fourth novel in the Clifton Chronicles, after Only Time Will Tell, The Sins of the Father, and Best Kept Secret.
