About this listen

A Twist of the Knife is Peter James’s gripping collection of thirty short stories, combining tales from Short Shockers: Collection One and Two.

With each twist of the knife, a chilling new journey begins . . . From a woman intent on bizarre revenge to a restaurant critic with a morbid fear of the number thirteen, and from a man arranging a life-changing assignation to a couple heading for a disaster-filled vacation . . .

In multimillion-copy bestselling author Peter James’s collection of short stories we first come to meet Brighton’s finest detective, Roy Grace, and read the tale that went on to inspire James’s hugely successful novel, Dead Simple. Each tale carries a twist that will haunt readers for days after they turn the final page . . .

A Twist of the Knife shows Peter James as the undisputed grand master of storytellers with this sometimes funny, often haunting, but always shocking collection.

‘Peter will send chills up your spine and make you jump at all those bumps in the night. Easily digestible and each one as fantastically goose bump-inducing as the last . . . Brilliant stuff’ - Heat

For me this is a number of short add-on pieces taken from previously edited texts simply to put another book on the shelves.
I felt it is s self indulgent & self publicising and name dropping way for Mr James to tell us how good he is. Sorry Peter but this one is not for me.

Disappointing for a Peter James book.

Returned book

Peter James is one of my favourite authors think I have read just about every book he has written, but this one left me feeling a little cheated. I felt I was reading a compilation of excerpts from his other novels with a little new stuff intermingled.

Not one of his best
