Commentary Conducive To Books Twelve Red Herrings

Jeffrey Archer, the internationally bestselling author of Honor Among Thieves, As The Crow Flies, and Kane & Abel, now serves up this inventive new collection of a dozen short stories -- with a twist. Cleverly styled, with richly drawn characters and ingeniously plotted story lines, each of the twelve pieces ends with a delightfully unexpected turn of events.

An imprisoned man is certain that his supposed murder victim is very much alive....A female driver is pursued relentlessly by a menacing figure in another vehicle....A young artist gets the biggest break of her career....A restless beauty manages the perfect birthday celebration....An escaped Iraqi on Saddam Hussein's death list pays an involuntary visit to his homeland. In each tale, human beings are given an opportunity to seize, a crucial problem to solve, or a danger to avoid. How will they react? How would you? Capping off the collection are two additional rewards. In the final story, Archer offers a choice of four endings. And buried in each story is another diversion -- a red herring which Archer challenges his readers to uncover.

Assess Of Books Twelve Red Herrings

Jeffrey Archer is a master storyteller...Especially when it comes to short stories.

If I could I'd give it 2.5 stars as some of the short stories were quite good, but some of the others really weren't.When I picked this book up at the book exchange at work I hadn't quite realized how old it was, but the first story put me straight on that really quickly! For the most part it wasn't an issue as it just meant I had to keep in mind there weren't things like cell phones, but there were some gender stereotypes which crept in from time to time.I do need to say that the stories were

Jeffrey Archer is one of my favourite writers and it make wonder how under-rated he seems to be in terms of popularity and reverence, as the minimal number of trivia questions regarding his works speaks. There is a difference between his novels (some of them over one thousand pages...) and this collection of short stories. The first ones are based on superbly-constructed characters, the second on clues and some moral, very similar to O. Henry's technique. Some of them are gorgeus, especially "

12 Fabulous stories , that would keep your mind ticking !!!

Awesome short story collection recommended by a co-worker. I enjoyed it so much I went to my closest used book store and bought all the short story books they had by Jeffrey Archer! Highly recommended, especially to those who enjoy mysteries but need or want something short, but still cohesive and well written...

1997 Oct 022005 Jan 01Archer takes some urban legends, which he appears to believe are true, and turns them into stories crafted by a skilled writer. They come out much better that way.

This book I flicked through while staying at a holiday cottage in NSW and finally tracked down. Not a great fan of short-stories, Jeffrey Archer's Twelve Red Herrings started promisingly with the 83 page "Trial and Error". Each story was quirky but I quickly realised they all had the SAME theme: money and/or wealthy people. After 7 stories I tossed it. Yawn!!!!2★.
