I have come yet again to realize I not a fan of short stories! Some of the stories were really good and suspenseful and left u very shocked and surprised in the end... While others you wanted to just turn to the next story two pages in! If ur a fan of short stories then by all means u will enjoy this book. If not don't bother waisting your time

Some of these were delicious.....some just devious

The first few stories had good twists. Didn't really read this one with great interest, not a big fan of short stories!!

I love sting-in-the-tale short stories with twists with a passion, and this book was pretty darn good. IIRC, I only guessed one twist ahead of time. Alas, a lot were thematically similar - cheating spouses and contract killers - so more variety would have been good. But it made a pretty satisfying read, and reminded me that one day I really must check out the Lincoln Rhyme series.
The best one was definitely the story that gives the impression a husband is out to murder his wife's lover, then reveals at the end that the narrator was a minor all along, and in fact murdered his mother's boyfriend. Definitely got me!
