I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. We find Detective Chase Williams always "in medias res" (in the midst of things) in "Cutting Right to the Chase" by Stefania Mattana. Chase has a knack for keen observation of his surroundings. That ability he has honed to perfection, along with being in the right place at the right time. I liked Chase's personality since he was friendly, always doing the job he had been trained to do, even when he was off duty.These stories are very short crime stories, fast-paced, and fun to read, since Chase is very likable. The only drawback for me is that the stories are over super fast. A thousand words is the distance from start to finish for each of these six stories. So, if you are looking for a longer read to last beyond your coffee break, you should get a different book. But if you like a fast crime story, this book will do just nicely for a few minutes reading. I give it five stars because the author clearly aims for people who have a few minutes on their hands to be her target audience, and I am in agreement with her on that.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Teach Debating: Theory & Practical Handbook for the Non-Native Teacher,Debate Coach & International English Language Learner Worldwide
