Short stories at their best,
By
This review is from: Twisted: Collected Stories of Jeffery Deaver (Paperback)
This is a book of 16 short stories by Jeffery Deaver. As the title suggests, every one has a twist in the tail, or should that be tale. Nothing is quite as it seems and your perspective of the story is due for a wrench at the end. I will admit that one or two may telegraph the switch, but mostly you should be surprised as I was. Mr Deaver is an ingenious and inventive story teller. A thoroughly enjoyable book that you won't be able to put it down whilst in the middle of a story, but you can come back 16 times.

Sixteen little gems,
By
This review is from: Twisted: Collected Stories of Jeffery Deaver (Paperback)
Good value this - sixteen short stories instead of one, but some of them might have been stretched out to become full-length novels by other authors. They're not great tales, but collectively they make a compulsive case for you to 'add to basket'. Apparently some have criticised the Olde English tale "All the World is a Stage" (which includes Shakespeare as one of the characters) but I thought it was very authentic given the American hand that wrote it! There's also a mini Lincoln Rhyme story, and several tales in which the baddies get away with it! A good way to introduce yourself to Jeffrey Deaver, if you're not a fan already.

Suspense!,
By Keith Stoneman (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twisted: Collected Stories of Jeffery Deaver (Paperback)
I have just finished reading this book. A collection of short stories that, without exception, are well crafted and grab the attention from the start. I had heard a review of this book on the radio so knew what to expect, BUT was still amazed by some of the twists. I kept a track and can honestly say I only had an inkling of two of the endings....the rest crept up on me and took me by surprise!This is a god book for being able to dip in and out of, by it's very nature being a collection of short stories, however I found I could not wait to find out what the next story was about and "could not put it down" as the phrase goes. Go buy it!
