A Twist in the Tale is a 1988 collection of short stories by British author Jeffrey Archer. The collection contains 12 stories. This Friday it turned out he also wanted the projected accounts for the months of May, June and July. I promised they would be on his desk by midday. The one thing I had needed was a clear morning to think, but I was not going to be allowed it.As an avid reader of Archer's works, I consistently find myself engrossed, which is why I wholeheartedly give this book a four-star rating. Let's explore the intriguing contents of this collection: Yes, we know that much,” said the Detective Inspector. “I don’t suppose you recall what make of car it was?” In a futuristic world, humans are fighting against robots to keep their race alive. However, it turns out that everyone is a robot anyway and the true human race died out years ago.

Just Good Friends is a first person narrative of a how a woman met her boyfriend...the twist in the tale is that we discover at the end that the narrator is actually a cat. I found myself wondering, irrelevantly, if he would ever be President. “President Dukakis” didn’t sound quite right to me. There are twelve short stories in A Twist in the Tale, with each promising a twist at the end. The first story, “A Perfect Murder,” follows a man who believes he’s committed the perfect crime. The man is a writer who kills his mistress one evening during a heated argument. He kills her because he discovers that she’s been unfaithful to him. He refuses to go to jail for what he’s done, and so he concocts a plan to lay the blame on the other man.The narrator offers to drive her home, but soon invites her over to his place for a drink. One thing leads to another, as he pulls out an ornate chess set, and challenges her to a game, on the pretext that they were not able to play against each other at the tournament. He then proposes a wager- if she won, he would hand her ten pounds, but if he won, she would take off a piece of clothing, or an accessory. Not the Real Thing tells the story about a British engineer who likes to collect medals since he was a child.

Not the Real Thing" revolves around a British engineer's lifelong fascination with collecting medals.

Mégis egy kissé ambivalens vagyok Archerrel kapcsolatban. Továbbra is kedvenc szerzők között tartom számon, noha nagyon régóta érzem, hogy nem hoz, nem ad újat. Belesüppedt a számára leginkább kényelmes és az általa leginkább ismert témákba, korszakokba, és nagyon sok könyvének a szereplőinek az életét simán fel lehetne cserélni egymással, annyira hasonlóak. Persze ő ebben a legjobb, ebben volt mindig is a legjobb. És továbbra is nagyon élvezem a könyveit, mégis azt érzem, hogy nem újul meg. Aztán felmerül bennem a kérdés, vajon meg kell újulnia? Egyszerűen �� valamikor már a legelső könyvénél megtalálta a hangját, 40 évvel ezelőtt, és ezt azóta sem eresztette. Kiszámítható? Igen. De mégis élvezetes, szórakoztató, a karakterei bár ugyanazokra a sémákra épülnek, mégis sokfélék tudnak lenni, a párbeszédei okosak, és még ilyen rövid, 6-30 oldal közötti történetekben is kaptak némi egyedi hangot, akkor kell ennél több? A random natural disaster like an earthquake or a hurricane happens, giving your hero another extra thing to worry about.
