Product Description

Review
"'Williams maintains suspense while keeping the masks of comedy and tragedy spining like tops.' Sunday Times"

Product Description
David William's whodunits have a huge and devoted following, recruited through the ingenuity of his plotting and the wit, style and sheer elegance of his writing. His brilliant short stories, never collected in one volume before, offer in addition the rich classical virtue of a superbly contrived twist in every tale. His favourite gold-digging spouses get delicious outings, as do the perpetrators of two fascinating insurance scarns and the members who so nearly bring disgrace on a London's gentleman's club. The tricking, on the Riviera, of an innocent Wimbledon spinster, the assassination of an ex-president and the hilarious arrangements for the demise of an unfavourite rich relative by a scrumptious Welsh harpy, are glorious examples of the genre. All these and other gems in this fifteen strong collection make for a compulsive and entirely satisfying virtuoso entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare treat., 29 Dec 2001
At long last: 15 compelling David Williams short stories in one volume. If you've not yet read any of his novels (over 20 from which to choose), these make a wonderful appetiser. They contain the same subtle blend of fine prose, humour, suspense and surprise. With their clever, well-thought-out plots and final twists, they're punchy and a ripping good read. Ideal holiday/train-reading and for Williams fans who simply want a 'quick fix'. We eagerly await another volume.

By A Customer
It was a pleasure to read David Williams collection of crime short stories in the classic style. As with his novels the writing is superb, the wit delicious, the morals and language civilised, the plots ingenious,and there's a twist at the end of every story. First rate
