It is a police procedural with the requisite handsome young partner.  Sigh.  Isn’t ANYBODY fat, middle aged and ugly in these books?So we have a young woman who is supposed to be a homicide detective who does things I think no homicide detective would ever do, like visit a strip club to investigate but pretend she is a P.I. and not a cop.  She inveigles a friend of the murdered stripper to open her locker for her.  WTH?  Why not just get a warrant, instead of playing let’s pretend.  Just dumb.The mystery proceeds apace – that is, when the author can stop telling us how attracted to each other the two partners are, yada yada yada.  Really annoying.  It’s a book that can’t decide if it is a police procedural  or a chick lit lite romance that only happens to be set in a police station.The solution of the murderer turns out to be just a little too heavy-handed and pat.  All the loose ends tied up nicely so the happy couple can get on with the sex.
