reviewed Cut Short (Geraldine Steel, Bk 1) on
I was disappointed in this book. There was a lot of characters to followyou knew who the killer was throughout the book, even if you didnt know his/her name. The detective was being stalked by her own stalker but not much detail on that, even when found and stopped. Took me a good week to read and if it was gripping and a psychological thriller I wouldnt have been able to stop reading once I started and it took me a week to read so. I couldn't honestly recommend this book to anyone I know.

What started with a few short choppy chapters where not enough information was given became an interesting string of crime, but way too many characters to keep straight. A DI Steel was at the heart of the investigation and could possibly be named the main character, but this cast of characters was ridiculous and really hard to remember all the moving parts.

Thankfully amongst the cast of characters, the killer was introduced early, the reader was just waiting for the police to connect the crimes and find the killer. The interesting part was trying to find out the motive behind the killer while the police were looking for the culprit. Although, I believe some of their policing skills weren't up to par, I am not a professional (but I do live with one) so I thought maybe they should have done a better job in their police work at a few of the key moments.
