Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Short stories seem to be the hardest thing to write. There must be a beginning, an end, and because it’s short, the middle must be clear and concise to convey the author’s story as succinctly as possible. Jeffrey Archer’s latest book does all of that magnificently well.
Each of these tales is enjoyable, and some are based on people Archer met during his travels. Archer is a great storyteller and each tale is different from the last whether it be characters, setting, plot or length of story that makes each unique. The tales are superbly told, simple yet such a powerful ending.
I highly recommend you pick this one up! Fair warning though, make sure you don’t peek ahead to the last paragraph. After seeing that the ending was a gotcha moment at the end, I made a point of covering it up as soon as I turned the page in order to avoid the temptation to peek!
