Not so great unfortunately
Some stories were good but not usual usual 5 star rating. Don’t understand cricket which is a drawback

Very little surprises in this collection.
Martin Jarvis gives a good performance as narrator apart from some slightly suspect foreign accents. The Mexican character sounded very similar to one from any Spaghetti Western you care to mention. I have noticed that Archer loves to make reference to Oxbridge colleges and favours middle class and upper middle class tales. I found the stories to be invariably long and more worryingly invariably boring. There isn't any really convincing twists in the tale. One story tells us about a loving couple who spend their marriage constantly trying to get the upper hand and making humourous jibes at each other. Apparently they never spent more than a couple of hours apart. Sadly when his wife died he committed suicide because he couldn't live without her. Basically that's it. Well told but no surprise ending. The Hungarian professor tale was nicely recounted but had no point to it and felt like Mr. Archer had become bored with the story and couldn't be bothered to finish it. Another story without a great conclusion was the Scottish gentleman who was trying to get a contract with a Mexican politician but was not happy about the amount of his profit he had to give to his colleague. Apparently he had saved his life in the Mexican Revolution. That's it. What a letdown.

Great for bedtime
Old love and The Chinese statue are lovely stories. The others are ok, but it's great for switching off before going to sleep.

This book is missing stories from the book.
I only bought this book for one story 😑 It seems to have at least 3 missing including the Century, the one I wanted.
