Three short stories from the 'Washington Poe' series:
1. The Killing Field - two bodies are uncovered in a cattle mass burial pit from the time of the UK foot & mouth crisis of 2001.
2. Why Don't Sheep Shrink? - Bradshaw & Poe solve a cold case whilst self-isolating for Covid. Doesn't sound very funny but this one had a scene which had me laughing to myself out loud. I also worked out how the murder was committed.
3. Dead Man's Fingers - wild flowers provide a clue in the case of two missing teenagers from over 20 years ago.
Very short stories but cleverly & humorously written. Bradshaw & Poe are such a fantastic team & Bradshaw's worldly innocence yet vast intellect makes for some great moments between them. 4.5 stars (rounded down)

Bec (becbingesbooks) - sorry, behind with lots of catching up to do wrote: "Glad you enjoyed these, Gayle!"It's one of the best series I've read in the last few years. The author isn't writing them fast enough for me, although there is a new one out this year.
