About this listen

Deception, blackmail, murder, revenge - these are themes of stories that move from London to the coast of Spain, from Mauritius to Dublin. Whether his subject is assassination by stealth, gun-smuggling or the cruel confidence trick Forsyth is never less than compulsive.

Here are eight stories with the Forsyth touch - a brilliant and original collection by an incomparable craftsman of suspense.

Normally I do not like short stories, however this book is a collection of short stories that go from good to incredible. The Emperor and The Careful Man are stories that make life worth living no matter how rough life is going.

I had to come back to this book three times before I liked it. But It is great now.

It took three times for this book to take.

Normally short stories are annoyingly unsatisfying. This collection is near perfect. Well worth the purchase.

When I read a book of short stories I expect to dislike most of them. I, in fact, read the first page of each one and if it does not grab me I am done with it. Not the book, just that particular story. I am more than satisfied if there is just one story that I really like. NO COMEBACKS, which is the title of the first story, is one of the very best I have ever read. In fact, I read it years ago in paperback and saved the paperback because I liked NO COMEBACKS so well. The narrator is superb, The story is masterfully done and I have listened to it twice this time even though I know every turn in the story. GREAT READ.....AGAIN!!!

Some excellent stories. However, this should really come into the Abridged section as having read the original physical book there are at 2 stories missing from the original book, There Are No Snakes in Ireland is one (in my opinion the best from the original book) and Duty. If these were included it would get 5 stars from me.

Some excellent stories

Any additional comments?

I enjoy a good short story and find very few great collections. Here is a great one, with excellent plots and twists. All the tales are good and a couple stand out. 'A Careful Man' and 'The Emperor' are memorable.

A great short story collection

Where was the story-There Are No Snakes in Ireland? It is in my copy of the book but was not on the audio.

Not all of the stories in the book are here.
