I enjoy both the old Prime Suspect and the more recent Prime Suspect:Tennison series on PBS, so a while I thought I tried one of the Jane Tennison series books and enjoyed it.
Blunt Force is the sixth in this series about the early career of Tennison.
Jane has been kicked off the Flying Squad, which investigates armed robberies, and is now working in the usually quiet district of Knightsbridge, seeing to such crimes as shoplifting from Harrod’s. But a grisly murder of a famous theatrical agent changes that.
A sub plot refers back to the time Jane was on the Squad.
Although I was engaged throughout, this is not a page turner; but this is not a criticism. It is a true police procedural with emphasis on the procedural. Well written, with a solid plot, there is good character development and interactions as we begin to see the evolution of Jane into one of the first female Detective Chief Inspectors in London whom we know so wel from Prime Suspect.
