{"product_id":"a-twist-in-the-tale","title":"A Twist In The Tale","description":"Description for A TWIST IN THE TALE by Jeffrey Archer: \u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nArcher's ( Kane and Abel ) talent as a raconteur is evident in these 12 distinctive short stories, all of which have surprise endings. Many center on human failings such as jealousy, obstinacy, pettiness or prejudice; 10 are based on \"known incidents\" that Archer has \"embellished.\" An almost reportorial, straightforward style actually enhances each concluding jolt. In \"The Perfect Murder,\" a married man kills his mistress, cunningly implicates someone else, and ensures that hapless person's conviction. \"A La Carte\" concerns Mark Hapgood, who grudgingly works as a lowly hotel porter to please his father, then unexpectedly becomes a celebrated hotel chef. The amorous, contented female narrator of \"Just Good Friends\" turns out to be a cat. The stunning \"Christinia Rosenthal\" shows the needless tragedy that results when a girl's anti-Semitic parents oppose her marriage to a rabbi's son.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42953413624024,"sku":"9780671671495","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/A_20Twist_20In_20The_20Tale.jpg?v=1654963144","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/a-twist-in-the-tale","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
