Summary
In the tradition of Ruth Rendell, Lynda la Plante, Frances Fyfield and Barbara Vine, Cut Short is a gripping psychological thriller that introduces DI Geraldine Steel, a woman whose past is threatening to collide with her future.
When DI Geraldine Steel relocates to the quiet rural town of Woolsmarsh, she expects to find her new home to be somewhere where nothing much ever happens; a space where she can battle her demons in private. But when she finds herself pitted against a twisted killer preying on local young women, she quickly discovers how wrong she is....
By day, the park is a place for children's games, for people walking their dogs or taking a short cut to avoid the streets. But in the shadows a predator prowls, hunting for a fresh victim. When an unwitting bystander comes forward as a witness she quickly becomes the next object of his murderous obsessions; someone whom the killer must stop at all costs.
DI Geraldine Steel is locked into a race against time, determined to find the killer before yet another naked corpse turns up. But can she save the lives of the town's young women - or will Geraldine herself become the killer's ultimate trophy?
What the Narrator Says
"Becoming Geraldine Steel was fantastic fun. She's a great, strong female character who takes you with her on dark journeys into the criminal world. She makes mistakes but she certainly fixes them with aplomb! Leigh has created a grimy world full of depraved and scary criminals but Geraldine and her colleagues (particularly the brilliant Ian Peterson), are determined to put criminals where they belong - behind bars. Can't wait for the next instalment..." Lucy Price-Lewis on narrating the Geraldine Steel series.

Superb Thriller
Leigh Russel has a way with her writing, it is gripping and has you on the edge of your seat. So well narrated too, you are there in the action.
Highly recommended.

Hmmm..not sure
There's nothing wrong with this debut, it is written well, the plot is paced nicely and well it just is, I neither feel its good or bad and I could not get behind any of the characters they where grey and a bit drab, feeling nothing but ambivalence to the whole story. Saying that I am going to read more I just hope Geraldine's character grows a little more interesting with surrounding characters growing with her..

Really Enjoyed This But........
Maybe I blinked somewhere but felt a bit of the perps finishing story was missing here that would have tied it up nicely. it's not a murder mystery as we.know the perp throughout. Generally I was pleased and now moving on to this author's next book

Enthralling
Became completely immersed in this story, the initial chapters dragged you in, the bulk of the story had you asking so many questions and the ending gave you so many twists and turns, well worth a listen.
