Nice collection of short stories. After the first one, I started to expect the unexpected, and was not let down by Archer. A good collection, and a good set to read, just before shut-eyes.

Much to my Dad's chagrin, I enjoy Jeffrey Archer's writing. I know, I know, he builds stories on improbable (if not impossible) coincidences, and the dialogue is usually too high-brow and unrealistic, but I like his writing anyway. This is a collection of stories he collected while in prison, and while it wasn't my favourite of his short story collections, it was a new(ish) subject for him and I enjoyed reading most of the stories in it.
