First collection of short stories I've read in a while. They were quite enjoyable.

Always enjoyed his short stories with twists. Easy reading.

These stories are about as suspenseful as a ham sandwich, and about as interesting. I'm listening to this on a long trip, and it's making me dread the ride back. I am certain I can rate this now even though I'm only halfway through, it's just not my kind of book.

I love these short stories that Jeffrey Archer writes A slice of life that law abiding citizens don't see. Really good

Really tricky to rate as I enjoyed it on the whole. Some was a bit far fetched. I wasn't overly comfortable with the author profiting from a prison sentence. Some of the stories though we wouldn't have heard otherwise and were quite good/memorable. The last story I don't even get what the point was tbh seemed a bit unkind if anything

Archer didn't fail to meet my expectation again.
A collection of funny, eventful and suspense filled stories. Best suited for a time when one is not in mood to read a long book, but still wish for an engrossing story. Each story is distinct in its own way, reading the collection feels like a walk through different lanes that started from the same point

It is a captivating book. I liked the way his plot twists came out. My 3 personal favorites are 'Don't drink the water', 'It can't be October already' and 'The Wisdom of Solomon'. This
