Crime digested

Denne posten er overhodet ikke relatert til foregående post om fengsler og kriminalitet. Istedet er ukens digested read i Guardian et herlig sammendrag av en krimroman - Beneath the Bleeding av Val McDermid. For de som ikke kjenner digested read, så er dette en sammenfatning av en aktuell bok skrevet i samme stil som boken selv. Som så ofte før med denne spalten så er det ikke behov for å lese boken etterpå. Et lite utdrag:

DCI Jordan called in her team.

"I'm a lesbian," announced Chris. "And I'm proud to be out."

"Me, too," chipped in Paula.

"Great," said Carol. "Now we've established that two-thirds of the women in my squad are gay, have you got anything for me?

"Bishop and his celebrity DJ girlfriend had a stalker," they replied.

Tony shook his head. "It's not him. He doesn't fit the profile."

"I don't care," said Carol. "There's always one pointless wild goose chase in detective fiction so I'm going to waste 50 pages going after him anyway."
