 Not as good as his other short tales September 24, 2008
Critical (Birmingham)
The book gets off to a really good start, I managed to read (and thoroughly enjoy) one light hearted story a night (quite an achievement with a little baby about), nice size managable little reads for a busy person.
Unfortunately the last three stories in the book were very poor, almost pointless. In fact, I fail to see why the last three were included at all as they really dont flow with the rest of the book and really do let it down.
Give his other short stories a go, I think his first two were much more enjoyable.
 A good read with a twist !! January 31, 2008
Ms. M. Wilson (Yorkshire)
This book is easy to read not hard going or too taxing.I didn't want to put it down until I found the twist at the end of each tale. Full of wonderful illustrations.Definately recommended, a great read.
Top class as usual January 27, 2008
Surf dude (UK)
As usual Archer writes up each story with panache and does not fail to disappoint the reader.This collection is based on his prison experience so covers a class of society he doesn't always have access to in his otherwise high society life. But he still manages to gild each tale with the usual small twists and turns that make his work so enjoyable.
 Not so good, really December 3, 2007

Jeff--you ain't no John Mortimore.
(And I have narrated this book in the Library of Congress's program of recorded books for the blind.)
Archer at his short story best with a touch of Dahl thrown in! November 5, 2007

Once again, jeffrey Archer has proved himself to be the master of the short story!
Taking a series of stories relatated to him during his time served at Her Majesty's Pleasure as well as 3 stories related to him at other times, Mr Archer has managed to create a feast for our palates. Some of the stories are also-rans; but others are stars in their field.
Above all others, I have to recommend 'The Wisdom of Solomon'. The twist in the tale (to quote Dahl) is fantastic! You really feel for one of the key characters, and the Judge's final decision is one that will appeal to many!
Another favourite was 'Charity Begins at Home'. Again, the characters are well written and the conclusion is pleasingly unexpected!
When he was imprisoned, the bigot in me said that I would never read his stories again - indeed I have kept away from his prison diaries in the belief that no-one should profit from their crimes, but I'm afraid the short story lover in me still has to say 'Well done, Sir Jeff! Keep it up, please!'
