Cat O' Nine Tales: And Other Stories
Cat O' Nine Tales: And Other Stories | Jeffrey Archer
5 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
An English lord requires one more chess piece to complete a set that would be worth a fortune. Another man, an accountant, realizes he's achieved nothing in his life and sets out to make a fortune before he retires. And then there is the author's own favorite, "In the Eye of the Beholder," about a star athlete who has a fateful run-in with a three-hundred-pound woman. Some of these twelve stories were inspired by the two years Jeffrey Archer spent in prison, including "Don't Drink the Water," the tale of a company chairman who tries to poison his wife while on a trip to St. Petersburg with unexpected consequences. Witty, suspenseful, sad, surprising, and unforgettable, "Cat O'Nine Tales "is Jeffrey Archer at his best."

Strange how women in positions of authority often acquire the sobriquet bossy, while a man holding the same rank is somehow invested with qualities of leadership

#catsinthecradle A selection of short stories by the master storyteller that is Jeffrey Archer. Many were based on stories he learnt from the time he spent in jail. Talk about being able to take the positives out of a bad situation!

Andrew65 @Cinfhen I'm also not a great fan of short stories, but I intend to give this a try. 7y
