'I can make good bad and bad badder, and most fun of all, really bad seem good.' Jeffery Deaver. And that is exactly what he does in this superb collection. In 'Beautiful' former supermodel Kari's stalker has followed her through retirement to her new small town home. The police can do nothing. The only thing that will end the nightmare is the stalker's death or her own. In the Edgar-nominated 'Triangle' Pete finds a true crime book - and uses the lessons contained therein to kill Mo's lover. The award-winning 'Without Jonathan' introduces us to Marissa, about to go on the first date of her life since she married Jonathan, with a man she met through the personals. As she wonders whether she will ever truly fall in love again, the man she is about to meet is killing a housewife in another part of town...

Thoughts

I’ve read this before, a long time ago, before I even started chronicling my book reads. Somehow I’ve managed to review the sequel to this book of short stories before this one, so I thought it only fair to rectify the situation. I love Jeffery Deaver’s short stories, there are always twists that you don’t see coming and this is no different. There’s a Lincoln Rhyme story in there as well, but ultimately it’s a host of different characters, lots of varying situations and plenty of twists to try and guess.
