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.

(Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf 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🌟
