Twelve Red Herrings by Jeffrey Archer

Book Summary:

Twelve Red Herrings is a collection of 12 cleverly crafted short stories, each with a twist—some more surprising than others. As the title suggests, “red herrings” (misleading clues) play a central role, keeping readers guessing until the end.

The stories explore a range of characters and situations, from love and betrayal to ambition and deception. One of the unique aspects of the collection is that in one story, Archer gives readers four possible endings and lets them decide how it should end.

Every story comes with a twist or an unexpected turn, making the collection ideal for fans of mystery, suspense, and clever storytelling.
