• And Thereby Hangs a Tale, By Jeffrey Archer

  Ten of these short stories are marked with an asterisk, to indicate that Jeffrey Archer didn't invent them; they were told to him by other people. The remaining five are "the result of my imagination". An interesting divide, especially as the majorit ... (read full critics)

  Another tour de force by Jeffrey Archer. He is definitely the greatest master of short story tellers in the contemporary literary world.

  This collection of 15 short stories, 10 of which purportedly are based on true events, is truly a gem. "Stuck on You" and "Members Only" are my favourites. Most of them are full of Archer's trademark twists and memorable characters. Don't miss this.

  I am in love with story 14 - Stuck on you, well it has literally stuck on me!

  Two thieves steal a ring from the De Beers vaults. An excellent attempt on a high security facility and in true Jeffrey Archer fashion I was kept trying to figure out how and why till the very last page - only to be hit with a very simple answer. Pretty mad at myself for not figuring it out but certainly entertained.

  And Thereby Hangs a Tale is a great collection with many great plots which are unpredictable with writing that is fast-paced, smooth and witty.

  I'm sure this great collection won't fail to entertain you. Enjoy!
