well, I too found this to be a wonderful collection of stories. In fact, I completely agree w/ [previous reader's] ratings on just about every one! My favorites were "The Perfect Murder", "Clean Sweep Ignatius", and "The Steal".

The Loophole - an interesting twist, but I saw it coming (B+)
Christina Rosenthal - good story, but a bum note to end with (B)

Overall, a fabulous collection;

While I prefer to read novels, this book of short stories was entertaining. I read the stories quickly and enjoyed most of them very much. I especially enjoyed the last story. I think this book would be ideal for someone who commutes on a train or bus, etc. The stories are quick little reads, so one can likely read a whole story during the commute to or from work.

If you like short stories (as I do) you'll like this book. It is a collection of 13 short stories that all have surprising twists in them. My favorites are "A La Carte" and "Just Good Friends".

Another classic from Archer. A twist in the tale lives upto its name and ensures that there are enough 'twists in the tale' Once again the last story Christina Rosenthal was memorable.

Archer writes some of my favorite short stories. They read really quick and always have a wonderful twist at the end.
