About this ebook

A compelling book of short stories from the number one bestselling author, Jeffrey Archer.

A man calls unexpectedly on his mistress and sees another man leaving her flat. Accusing her of being unfaithful, he quarrels with her, strikes her. She dies. Leaving unseen, he tips off the police so that the other man is arrested and charged . . . Has he achieved 'The Perfect Murder'? A tantalizing opening to A Twist in the Tale, a fantastic collection of short stories.

Consider also: a wine-tasting with a bizarre difference, a game of sex with a sexy stranger, a violent row in a golf clubhouse bar, a rivalry founded on eating cornflakes . . . just some of the openings in this cunningly constructed, fast-moving, entertaining set of stories from the bestselling author.

Ratings and reviews

A nice collection of short stories by the master story teller Jeffery Archer. Have read the paperback version. All stories are too good with a surprising twist in the end.

Gripping reading.

Great book.
