review 1: I hate to abandon this because there's nothing patently wrong with it. Nothing about it annoys me in the tiniest bit. Problem is I'm on page 109 and I am just totally uninvolved. The lady detective is tepidly drawn and I cannot feel for her. Her coworkers seem vaguely sketched in. We know who the baddie is and he is a wackjob and even he isn't interesting enough to follow. There's nothing compelling going on at all. It's frustrating and I've been carrying it around in my purse for long enough and there's a ton of Margaret Yorkes in from the library and I can't help it, I'm desperate to plow through them because she's exactly what I love. So I'm abandoning this one, perhaps someday I'll try it again.
review 2: I do not usually read crime thrillers but so... moremethingI do not know what attracted me to read this particular book and I'm really glad that I did. 'Cut Short' is Leigh Russell's debut novel and what a story it contains! The narrative tells the story of Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel who has recently relocated to a quiet village where one would expect nothing much would happen. In reality this assumption is far from the reality of the situation as Geraldine Steel is soon on the case of tracking down a disturbed killer who is preying on local young women.This story centres around Geraldine Steel and her Police Team battling against time to find the deranged killer before another young woman is murdered within the village.This story flows from start to finish. Once opened this psychological thriller is difficult to put down. It also has a particular twist at the end. I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys an easy read and particularly to those who do not normally read crime novels! less
