An Airtight Alibi

The twelve short stories collected in this book are all easy to read. Most of them build up to an unexpected ‘twist in the tail’. Apart from this, however, readers will find that these stories have very little in common, as a wide spectrum of themes has been incorporated.

Some of the stories are light hearted reading, whilst others display a large degree of sensitivity and will invoke some melancholy. Pure fantasy, with a tongue in cheek approach, will certainly cause a few laughs. Even a subtle ghost seeking revenge for his untimely departure from life makes its appearance. The title story has extortion and other crimes as its theme. A step in time is miles removed from anything Stephen Hawking had in mind – is a time machine really possible?

Throughout this collection, however, the author has made an utmost effort to provide his readers with enjoyable reading.
