My initial thought when beginning to read this is that it read more like an anthology or collection of short stories. Because it flowed differently than the traditional novel, I struggled a bit to identify key characters in various parts of the stories or chapters, but I eventually found my stride. Still not my preferred style though, but that's me, and has nothing to do with the context of he book.

Definitely real life, right down to the verbiage, perceptions of female officers and the 'inside' politics of law enforcement. This authors storytelling is very colorful, and I'd love to see a suspense novel from him at some point. .

Recommend for law enforcement and those wishing to join law enforcement!
