From AudioFile
As a writer, Lord Archer is known for his bestselling romans a clef; as a politician, for his scandal-ridden career. This sampling includes nine stories of varying genres and moods, all with O'Henry-like endings. As interpreted by the distinguished British actors Tony Britton, Martin Jarvis and, especially, Alec McCowen, the volume is particularly satisfying. Even the more frivolous selections have a touch of class, thanks to them. Altogether a fine match of author and readers.
