review 1: This story was written as a prequel to the Scott and Bailey t.v. series. We meet Janet and Rachel at the beginning of their partnership with the Murder Investigation Department, Janet is an experienced officer very clam and great a interviews, Rachel is newly promoted and very impetuous, she wants quick results and gets very impatient with the slow by the book method of policing. In this story we get to see what makes the two women tick, why they are as they are, their family background and how their past has had a profound effect on the way they think. Solving the murder in this case proves to have many twists and false starts and during the course of the investigation a lot of dirty secrets from the past are unearthed and we discover why the victim and others are so ba... moredly damaged and vulnerable. It takes a lot of perseverance and solid detective work for the duo to 'get their man' and this all combines to make are really interesting read.
review 2: I didn't like this much, prickly & defensive British female police walk a fine line with me, there's so many of them in the books I read, they have to be exemplary women to overcome my general irritation with their overcompensation for their gender and insecurities. It's certainly possible, there's some UK crime fighting women that I am in love with, but to have 3 of these bristling women in one book and none of them anything special just made this story more of a chore than a pleasure. less
