Jeffrey Archer is one of the world’s bestselling authors, with sales of over 275 million copies in 97 countries, and is the only author ever to have been a number one bestseller in fiction (twenty times), short stories (four times) and non-fiction (The Prison Diaries). He was born in London, and brought up in the West Country. He gained a Blue in Athletics at Oxford, was President of the University Athletics Club, and went on to run the 100 yards in 9.6 seconds for Great Britain in 1966. Jeffrey has served five years in the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament, and thirty years as a Member of the House of Lords.

He has written 27 novels, 7 sets of short stories, 3 prison diaries, 3 plays (all of which have been performed in London's West End) and a gospel. His first novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less was sold to 17 countries within a year. It was also made into a successful serial for BBC Radio 4, and was later televised in 1990 by the BBC. He won the Prix Relay du Roman d’Évasion, a prize that rewards a novel in which readers can ‘escape from everyday life’, for his novel Paths of Glory, and the Prix Polar International Prize for the best international thriller of the year, for his novel A Prisoner of Birth. The Clifton Chronicles, a series of seven novels published between 2011-2017, topped the bestseller lists around the world.

Famous for his discipline as a writer who works on up to fourteen drafts of each book, Jeffrey also brings a vast amount of insider knowledge to his books. Whether it’s his own career in politics, his passionate interest in art, or the wealth of fascinating background detail – inspired by the extraordinary network of friends he has built over a lifetime at the heart of Britain’s establishment – his novels provide a fascinating glimpse into a range of closed worlds.

Jeffrey is also an amateur auctioneer, conducting up to 20 charity auctions a year. He has been married to Dame Mary Archer, Chair of the Science Museum Group, for 55 year, and they have two sons, two granddaughters and three grandsons. He splits his time between London, Cambridge and Mallorca - where he writes the first draft of each new novel.

The fifth book In his new William Warwick novels - the first of which, Nothing Ventured, was published in 2019 - is NEXT IN LINE which will be out in September 2022.

good book

don't expect a Roald Dahl

The twist in the tale suggests a Roald Dahal twist (well for me that is) and although I think Archer is a wonderful writer, this is not a genre I will spend my money on. Back to the Clifton Chronicles and William Warwick detectives!

I got very irritated reading this story because of all the TYPOS, incorrect word usage, and/or grammar. Don't know where the problem originates, whether it's the author, (doubtful) editor, or in the transition to kindle but it's like someone was using an auto suggest and didn't stop to correct the wrong word usage/spelling. I will read the final story when it comes out but won't read any more Jeffrey Archer because aside from this fiasco, his work is getting too predictable and "same-same."

Very interesting short stories. This is a book for a person that wants some entertaining reading but does not want to read a long story. It is fast moving and very cleverly written.

Fun Read of Short Stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014

I'm usually not a fan of short stories and actually ordered this without carefully investigating it. Totally my bad... The title should have been an alarm bell. However, once into the book, I enjoyed the "tales" greatly. Always a twist at the end... Recommended!

This was a book club choice. I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. I especially enjoyed the unusual "twists" in the endings of each story. This book was entertaining and kept me intrigued. I did find the last story to be incredibly sad.

Entertaining yet sometimes predictable

I am a huge Jeffery Archer fan. A Twist in the Tale was a fun read. Some of the stories you will be able to guess the end but others will surprise you. I am trying to read all of his books.
