Book Description

February 9, 2004

New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver has long thrilled fans with tales of masterful villains and their nefarious ways, and the brilliant minds who bring them to justice. Now the author of the Lincoln Rhyme series has collected his award-winning, spine-tingling stories of suspense -- stories that will widen your eyes and stretch your imagination.

This standout collection from Twisted includes "Gone Fishing" in which, a daughter begs her father not to go fishing in an area where there have been a series of brutal killings; a contemporary of the playwright William Shakespeare vows to avenge his family's ruin in All the World's a Stage; in "The Kneeling Soldier," a father's love turns deadly when he protects his only daughter from a stalker, but was the stalker indeed a stalker?; and in the bonus story Interrogation, a detective grills a cold-blooded murderer as to why he killed a perfect stranger.

Diverse, provocative, eerie and inspired, this collection exhibits the amazing range and signature plot twists that have earned Deaver the title "master of ticking-bomb suspense" by People.

About the Author

Former journalist, folksinger and attorney Jeffery Deaver's novels have appeared on a number of bestseller lists around the world, including The New York Times, the Times of London and Los Angeles Times. The author of eighteen novels, he's been nominated for five Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America and an Anthony award. He is a two-time recipient of the Ellery Queen Reader's Award for Best Short Story of the Year, and a winner of the British Thumping Good Read Award. His book A Maiden's Grave was made into an HBO movie staring James Garner and Marlee Matlin, and his novel The Bone Collector was a feature release from Universal Pictures starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. His most recent novels are The Vanished Man, The Stone Monkey, and The Blue Nowhere. He lives in Virginia and California.

From AudioFile

Jeffery Deaver emerges as a master of the classic short story, bolstered by a bevy of ace readers in this collection of "twisted tales." With one exception, "All the World's a Stage," which comes off as sophomoric mock-Elizabethan prattle, this collection features intelligent, well-crafted fiction. Story lines, characters, and high stakes are melded with gripping, unexpected conclusions voiced by strong character actors. Deaver echoes O. Henry now and then when using pathos and coincidence; Poe, Hitchcock, and King when things turn dark and rife with retribution. High production values and committed, gifted actors make this an audiobook sure to remain in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Stories!, March 3, 2004

This review is from: Nocturne: And Other Unabridged Twisted Stories (Audio Cassette)
This is a terrific book I stumbled upon by accident. If you enjoy "Twilight Zone," then you'll love these. Each story had an ending I didn't see coming. And each time I finished one, I ended up with a giant grin on my face and a big "WOW, cool!!!" I must say, I rarely like books of short stories. They're usually very uneven in quality and readability. This is the exception. This is a great book by Jeffery Deaver. Don't miss it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful - this is a rip-off, October 19, 2006
The name of this book is very deceptive and makes it sound like it contans follow up stories in the vein of those in Deaver's book "Twisted" (which is also available in audio format). Lo and behold, it's actually just more stories taken from that book. This audio book should have been named something like "Nocuturne and other stories from Twisted". Based on other reviews I've read, I'm not the only one to have been duped. The stories in "Twisted" are good, but jeers to the publisher for pulling this fast one.
