I always prefer Archer in his full length, this collection of stories was quite interesting. Every detail in this book seems to serve a purpose to propel the story. The book contains 15 stories. It has masterpieces like in Germany, the tale of a priceless oil painting that has remained in the same family for over 200 years untill. One of the stories I really like was that of Blind Date. All in all it is a great, quick read. The tales are basically composed mostly of tales from everyday life with a twist ending.
