Review: A fierce, feminist, and often funny entry into the realm of the police procedural

In many ways, the story follows the pattern set by `classic' television cop dramas from the 80s and 90s, but the story is a lot more polished, realistic, and professional than that.Two things really set the story apart from the current wave of crime dramas. The first is the level of detail involved in the police work itself. It just seems authentic and realistic, and never resorts to those conveniently lucky breaks that make you roll your eyes and wonder what the characters would do in real life. The second is that the story excites you. It makes you want to cheer for the detectives, and makes you want to play along at solving the mystery (without any eccentric genius detectives or new-fangled CSI techniques to break the case).I don't generally read a lot of detective stories, but I would gladly sign up for another in this series.
