I loved this introduction to Tracey’s character and what caused the strife between her and Nolasco.

This is an introduction to Tracy Crosswhite series. Tracy is a bad ass top of her class for being a policewomen. This is the prequel to her series. I like how she does not take any bullshit from the men in the class including the instructors. I also like how she helps the other women in the class get to the point to pass to become a policewomen. This was a good start to understand what it was like for women when they first join the police department and go to the academy. i am looking forward to reading the series.

This book was a short but fulfilling prequel to My Sister's Grave. I've grown to love Tracy Crosswhite's character, and this short story gave plenty of backstory and character development.

A very short introduction to the series, a nice little read.

Nice quick intro to Tracy Crosswhite but I really cringed when the interviewing board asked her what she would do if/when she got pregnant. I realize this is fiction but that is totally illegal!

This was a grand introduction to the character of Tracy.It was superbly written which has been the standard for most books in this series. We get to see the training bits and also the vulgarities some men throw at females. Here Johnny Nolasco is at his worst but Tracy as calm as ever, even with the emotional turmoil she is suffering from losing Sarah, handles it well!

I really liked the feminist twist to the story and seeing Tracy start out on her career, but I felt like it was a little too short and could have been expanded.

I 100% read this to pad my 2021 book count, but it was worth the time and an enjoyable look at Crosswhite's transition from teacher to police officer.
