Interesting setup but stilted voice

This underdog female cop story has an interesting premise, but the tone seems a little stilted. The chauvinism of the male-dominated police station comes across heavy-handed, as if it has to be so over-explained that we couldn't possibly miss it. Has the potential to be a gritty suspense novel, based on the crime scene photos the heroine sees early on, though she has yet to be thrown into the action.
