From AudioFile:

Jeffery Deaver is a master of the twist ending short story. Collected here are eight tales narrated by a team of three talented performers. In "Without Jonathan," Michele Pawk amplifies the suspense by pacing the story of a woman struggling to get over the death of her husband, but whose first date may be a killer. Boyd Gaines puts listeners on notice with his stylish air as he reads "For Services Rendered," about a woman seeking the help of a psychiatrist because her husband is trying to drive her crazy. Frederick Weller puts a redneck twang into his reading of "Eye to Eye," which follows a pair of small town cops who take pleasure in harassing the former high school nerd who has returned to town. With quiet confidence, Deaver reads his own introduction in which he shares his passion for short fiction and explains how he came to the form.
