Summary
A Twist of the Knife is Peter James’s gripping first full-length 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 listeners for days after the last 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.
Critic reviews
‘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

Disappointing
not what I was expecting at all from Peter James. Not my cup of tea at all. Found the narration slightly boring

Great Stories
I really enjoyed this book.
Lots of short stories read by a voice that made it more enjoyable
The Roy Grace snippets were my favourite but all the stories were good .
Well worth buying.
