Un conjunto de deliciosos -y maliciosas- relatos, en los que el rey del best séller brillante e ingenioso -El cuarto poder, Kane y Abel- retrata a diversas criaturas que se dejan engañar por las apariencias. Desde un marido que se cree infalible hasta un delincuente convencido de haber dado el golpe perfecto.

I'm not usually nuts about short stories. But this is a good collection. (

Once again a batch of short stories, involving some mysteries, but most are on the edge of crime fiction.
This audio production makes good listening particularly as the narration by Alec McCowen is so well done. Each of the stories has an unexpected twist in the final moments. (

Sometimes all I need are short stories. Archer created 12 stories that throw a twist (or red herring) into the mix. One Man's Meat... even includes 4 alternate endings. I somehow always choose the sad sack ending.

Do Not Pass Go was quite a good story about an Iraqi man just trying to fly home from Turkey. Cheap at Half the Price was a little....ballsy for a woman but also made me cheer for her. Never Stop on the Motorway has been told before, many many times.

There were only a couple of stories that caused me to go Meh, but the rest made up for those. (
