Description

A memoir, following the true story of Wendy Wilkins as she joins the police force, a naive twenty-year-old cop in Melbourne, Australia, and discovers many firsts, her first arrest, murder, dead body, love, cop culture and a #metoo moment...

The good, the bad and the ugly of life as a cop in Melbourne Australia, in the late 80's and early 90's. A fast paced and entertaining read with some wonderful characters, who just happen to be real.

A peek inside the gritty underbelly of Melbourne's police world, through the lens of a young female cop. Wendy navigates this new world, while falling in love and being sexually awakened herself. Vignettes in the style of Candace Bushnell's "Sex and The City" novella.

REVIEWS

“If Sex and The City had a fifth 'shero', it would certainly be author, actress, real estate entrepreneur, and former cop, Wendy Wilkins, whose novella gives us a dazzling inside look at her smart, sexy, and entertaining life and inspires us to live ours more fully.” ~ Jaimsyne Blakely, Writer, Creator, Innovator

“A peek inside the gritty underbelly of the Melbourne police world in the 90's, through the lens of a young female cadet. This book brings the human side of being in law enforcement to light -- sharing the personal, sexual, and business life of author, Wilkins, as she navigated her first few years in the police force. A humorous and often confronting look at what it is to be a woman in uniform.” ~ Kym Jackson, Actress/Author

“It was like a blast from the past reading Wendy's memoir of her time in the force. The good, the bad and the ugly of life as a cop in Melbourne Australia. A nice quick and thoroughly entertaining read with some wonderful characters that just happened to be real” ~ AW Ex-Detective Sergeant, Victoria Police

“I like the humor and the crime stories it also has a touch of a ‘Clueless’ Fifty Shades of Grey’" ~ Belinda Gosbee, Actress/Writer

“You wrote the truth about me, at least you changed my name!” ~Anonymous

This book is filled with excitement, emotions, and first-time experiences. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to become a cop or just wanting to know about the behind the scene stories of a cop. Police officers are great storytellers because they have heard and seen it all. I would love to see Wendy Wilkins turn this story into a hot new tv series.

This book was fun for me because it reminded me that it's ok to love the things men love in this world - shagging, shooting, and drinking and still be a girl! She's a wonderful character who is just living life - not trying to be a prima donna just being herself - ballsy but vulnerable - and learning some big lessons along the way.

Interessante Einblicke der etwas anderen Art, ein kleines, feines Buch voller Witz und guter Unterhaltung. Man vergisst fast, daß dies auf wahren Tatsachen beruht.
