Jeffrey Archer is one of my favorite authors, and this compilation of short stories did not disappoint. All of the stories have a clever twist. An added bonus at the end of the book is a preview of his upcoming novel, Heads You Win, to be released November 2018. ( )

An excellent and intriguing set of short stories, some crime fiction amongst them. The opening 100 word story Unique gets the reader thinking, and the novella The Senior Vice President is wonderful.

Well read in this audio book version. ( )

A collection of some 14 short stories by a master story-teller/novelist. Eight of the stories have been inspired by actual events. Two of the stories have 100 words -- exactly. One story has three alternative endings (the author confesses he liked all three -- and presents them for the reader's decision.) Most of the tales have a twist at the end worthy of O. Henry. My favorites among the collection were: "Who Killed the Mayor?" (in which a big-city policeman is sent to a small Italian village to discover who murdered the much-hated mayor), "View of Auvers-sur-Oise" (where a new policeman makes his first collar), "The Road to Damascus" (in which a young schoolmaster discovers the reason behind a dramatic career switch on the part of a classmate), "The Cuckold" (about a man involved in an affair with his best friend's wife), and "The Holiday of a LIfetime" (a distant couple reignites their marriage with a get-rich-quick scheme -- personally, I found Option C the most satisfying of the choices Archer offers). The two 100-word stories are simply amazing: who knew one could devise something so satisfying with such an economy of words? -- Quick, delightful reading. Encore, m'lord! ( )
