I liked the characters and the competence of DI Greene. She is a confident, long serving officer who would quite like promotion but also wants to stay on active duty and is aware that a Chief Inspector is more desk-bound. She has a wry sense of humour. There was some nice diversity, with women and ethnic officers, and even the nasty sergeant wasn't overtly racist even if he might have such views privately. The prose style does involve a fair amount of 'head hopping' so that there is a lot of switching viewpoints, but for once I didn't mind that.
The one thing that struck me as a bit unrealistic was that her own CI starts an affair with blonde, beautiful sergeant Janine: not only would that seem to tarnish his own chances of promotion - the man above him is due to move on shortly - but Janine is ambitious and I would have thought she wouldn't want to create the impression that she is trying to progress in her career by sleeping with the boss. However, I enjoyed this opening volume enough to want to read more, so a 4 star rating. ( )
