Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Completed 1/26/11, rated 2**. Late in the story, depressed heroine Geraldine Steel has second thoughts about her career choices, ruminating about a change to bartender but then decides to continue for the time being as a Detective Inspector. I think she made the wrong decision. A bit later a school teacher calls her to say she has received a death threat from a suspected serial killer. DI Steel assigns no one to protect the teacher and guess what happens? Duh! There are other such head scratchers in this story, none of which Steel is raked over the coals for - which makes absolutely no sense to me. But more importantly this story has no zest at all, it plods along with the characters acting like dazed zombies going through the motions. Geraldine is a sad sack, with no life away from the job and the job is no great shakes; I have a vague recollection of hearing that things pick up a bit in story #2 but I think I'll pass. There are too many great series out there and this ain't one of them. no reviews | add a review
