I enjoyed reading this story of Jane Tennison's life as a young woman, before the story of Prime Suspect. It's interesting to think about the personal growth of the character between the two novels. There is insight into how she became the woman we see in Prime Suspect. Sometimes, I wanted to jump into the novel to tell her some things would be better for her in the future.

The writing is interesting. The historical context is a trip down memory lane. is still a lot of work to done in this areSexism was overt and endemic. While the #metoo movement shows there a, the book also shows that some things are better than they were 50 years ago. The plot flows nicely to a satisfying finish. I hope to read more stories about Jane in the future.
