A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett Book Summary

A breathtaking thriller featuring "political and amorous intrigues, cold-blooded murder, and financial crises" (San Francisco Chronicle), from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Column of Fire

In 1866, tragedy strikes the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident. His death and its aftermath initiate a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many lives.
 
From the exclusive men’s clubs and brothels that cater to every dark desire of London’s upper class to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the world’s wealth, one family is splintered by a shared legacy. But greed, fed by the shocking truth of a boy’s death, must be stopped, or the dreams of a nation will die.

A Dangerous Fortune. Another great read, a real page turner.

True good vs evil. Captivating. Just as soon as I thought all was ending and the bad guys would win, Follete saved the day. Not all in life Is good but being good always saves a life. Loved the characters, good and evil! Well done.

A Dangerous Fortune. A highly enjoyable read with twists and turn that keeps the reader intrigued, plotting the actions of characters come to life. Thank you, Mr. Follett, for an enjoyable story.

Great story!. I always love Mr. Follet's strong characters and detailed descriptions of life in the era he's describing, and this book was no exception. My only regret is that I'm running out of Follet books to read.

Fascinating Follett background. Just a note on a wonderful book coming up on its 20 year anniversary - it is so enjoyable to see the "history" of the various Follett stories throughout. Highly recommended.

I wish I would have read something else.. This was the first Ken Follett book I've read and it will probably be the last. I found his writing style lacks flow. The characters weren't developed well and the story moved along too slowly. About halfway through I wanted stop reading however I did pay $7.99 for the book so I figured I would just finish it.

Great!. Classic Follett!

Terrific Boca bobmarco. Great!!! Loved it!!

Slow to start. I found this Follet book slower to start than his recent novels. However, it was worth "sticking-with-it", and after about the first quarter, got to the usual "can't put down - have to know what's next". Some of the time jumps in the text leave too much to the imagination, but overall - a thoroughly good read.

Great book. I absolutely loved reading this book. It was well written and a really good story. Thanks!

Very Good. Took a while to get into but once in couldn't put it down.

Good reading. Really enjoyed this book more than the pillar books. Looking for a good mystery and love novel...this is it.

All's well that ends well. With characters seemingly from the pre-Downtin Abbey era, this book is exciting and fulfilling. It fulfills many cliches: Pride comes before the fall, Avarice is the root of all evil, and the cream always comes to the top. Filled with murder, sex, and back stabbing, how could his book not be a winner!

Far from his best. Good story over all but doesn’t get moving till about half way thru. Characters became quite predictable. Just not up to what I expected from Follett. Some parts read more like a sleazy rom novel from a novice writer. Over all I was disappointed after having read his Kingsbridge series which is outstanding. I will still look for his others books. Highly recommend his Kingsbridge series.

Dangerous Fortunes. Good read!

Ken Follett never seizes to amaze and entertain!. Could not put it down!

If You Like Bridgerton…. Amazing characters and storyline. A real page turner.

A Dangerous Fortune. An outstanding period piece. Fascinating storyline. Good character development.

One of his best. I could not put the book down. Amazing characters

Truly talented. I read this book many years ago and it was truly intriguing. Loved every chapter.

Terrific reading!!!. Ken Fowlett ALWAYS delivers! He is a truly gifted author that always delivers! If you’re not familiar with his work, I’d highly recommend "The Key to Rebecca" and to follow in that order. You certainly won’t forget it!

A Dangerous Fortune. Great book! Follett's characters are captivating. Love all of his books.

Interested the whole time. This was a good read start to finish. My interest never wavered.
