5.0
The Cutting Season is a short story written for the Quick Reads. The premise is to get people into reading. The length of the book, the font size and the language are adjusted so that people who don't usually read, can pick it up, enjoy and, hopefully, look for more.
The book had to be engaging and funny, and it definitely is. I loved it so much. Poe & Tilly need to solve a weird murder, they know that it's all about debt and some kind of revenge, but finding it out takes a dangerous turn... The first chapter shows us Poe dangling on the meat hook, and hoping for the best!
Fantastically plotted, with the twists and humour.
A dose of Tilly & Poe before The Botanist is published is something that every fan can be grateful for.
I couldn't ask for more (maybe for a 1000 more pages but that'd go against the Quick Reads idea...) and I can't wait to get a few copies and give them away as gifts.
