Publisher's summary

Cat O' Nine Tales is the fifth collection of irresistible short stories from the master storyteller Jeffrey Archer.

These twelve yarns are satisfying and ingeniously plotted, featuring richly drawn characters and Jeffrey Archer's trademark deliciously unexpected conclusions. They feature the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know, as well as more poignant and telling characters. As a collection they confirm his position as a master storyteller.

Stories with unexpected twists!

Anton Lesser is a brilliant narrator! He knows a lot of English dialects and knows how to use them! These stories by Jeffrey Archer could not have got a better performer. If the character is a prisoner as in 'It Can’t Be October Already' or an Italian Art dealer in 'In The Eye of the Beholder' - just perfect. Movies through the ears! ;-)

Fascinating stories from Archer's time in click.

Fascinating short stories from Archer's time in clink, but the last two stories are rather weaker . A memorable book, but a stronger ending would have been welcome.

I enjoyed the stories; narrator was excellent.

I'd read the book when I was much younger and loved the stories. I enjoyed the narration even more.

NOT AS GOOD as usual

I was rather disappointed with this tape as I have always enjoyed Jeffery Archers stories. The twists at the end weren’t as good as usual
