Twisted

Nope....I am not referring to my present frame of mind :-) This is a book by Jeffery Deaver that I just finished reading. It's a collection of short stories with a twist in the end.... much like Jeffery Archer's "Twist in the tale".

First, the stories that I liked and couldn't see the twist for:

For services rendered
Beautiful
Triangle
Nocturne
The Christmas present

Just loved the way the murdered is nailed in "Lesser Included offense" :-)

But I guess after a few stories you kind of start to figure out the possible twists as you go on reading a story. That happened with me for the rest of them.

The book made a delightful reading nevertheless!

- Keep up reading good books

- Start learning a foreign language

And most important of all.....
