Murder Mile is the second Jane Tennison novel I've read. Jane is growing into her own. It's difficult to read what some of her colleagues and superiors actually think of women in the work force. Sometimes, we forget how much progress has been made in equity for women in the work force, even as we are reminded of how far we have still to go.
The this latest volume of the series, Jane solves the connected murders of three women and one man. In addition to investigating the crimes, Jane must also negotiate the lack of empathy and understanding of her mother and the office politics of many of the "boys" she works with. Some of these colleagues both admire and attempt to undermine her.
Through it all, Jane keeps her wits about her as she solves the crimes and fights for her right to do the job she loves.
