3 highlights

Cut Short is a book consisting of 3 short stories about Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw.

Each story tells about different cold cases that were solved by these 2 brilliant detectives during a time of flu isolation. There was time to spend on something and these two used it very productive.

I like M.W. Craven's books and always get a lot of pleasure from reading them. Poe is very intuitive and Tilly is a scientific genius. This makes this couple very strong protagonists. And their friendship is unique too.

Quotes SVETLANA Liked

“It’s maths, Poe, not luck,’ she said without a trace of irony. ‘Toast usually falls from the table and is almost always butter side up when it does. Unless there are outside factors involved, the spin rate is rarely fast enough for it to go through a full revolution before it reaches the ground. If tables were ten feet high, we would say that toast always seems to land butter side up.”
― M.W. Craven, Cut Short

“Did you know that the nose is the only organ that can see into the past, Poe?’ Bradshaw said. ‘Smell is retrospective. It’s already happened.”

“lettuce he’d bought in a moment of ill-advised optimism. A bit of cheese so mouldy it was a short evolutionary jump away from developing lungs.”
