I really enjoyed this book a great deal! It reads pretty much like any crime drama tv show, which means that it was straight up my alley! Since this was my first foray into the world of Tennison, I enjoyed getting to know Jane. She is a cool headed, professional, who really is capable of overcoming adversity. She gets sh*t done.
There is a large cast of characters so it really did keep me on my toes, I kept wondering is it you? No, its probably you... or is it? I think the it was woven together very expertly.
There were only one thing that was off the mark for me. And that was that Jane for a good part of the book seemed to take a back seat to the men in her department. I understand that it might have been a commentary on what the work place is like for women in the force but she seemed to be completely fine fetching coffee and meals for the both Spencer and their chief. I kinda wish the guys had reciprocated and gotten her lunch or coffee occasionally too.
Overall though I really enjoyed it and would definitely up for exploring more of La Plante's works!
PS. Kinda bummed it wasn't Spencer who was the killer... but ya know, there's always next time ;)
