Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9.5/10

If there is one thing you can guarantee upon in life is that the writer Robert Harris will deliver a tale of such epic proportions that it becomes a true definition of the phrase, unputdownable; and in the post English Civil War/ War Of The Three Kingdoms set novel, Act Of Oblivion, that sharpness of writing, the detail of research, the sense of pacing, all lead to a conclusion that this 2022 book is as exciting, as dedicated to the reader as Fatherland 30 years beforehand, Munich, or even the factual Selling Hitler: The Story of the Hitler Diaries, and as the tale of regicides Colonel Edward Whalley and Colonel William Goffe turn from established fact to possible example of their final endings, the reader cannot but help be immediately satisfied with the explanation and the hunt that has been caused by the protagonist Richard Naylor.
