I had read another book about Jane Tennison and so I was interested in what her newest adventure was. Jane had been kicked off the Flying Squad and was stuck at another quiet station dealing with mostly petty crime (while also going to a shooting range to try and fix her weakness in freezing when a gun was pointed at her) when Charles Foxley ends up brutally murdered. There is much confusion as to motive and suspects though I did enjoy Charles three dogs that kept showing up as no one wanted to deal with them. That was quite funny.

Spencer is also a major character in this novel, also demoted due to some mistakes (throwing a punch at a traffic cop) and is trying to solve this case with Jane. He annoyed me a little due to his temper but he seems to be a good friend to Jane. Both of them did a good job of figuring out what had happened (no thanks to the three special detectives that had a hand in the case). It was a sad ending though and not what I expected. I liked the book up till the end and would not mind reading more books with Jane in them.
