The Academy: A Short Story by Robert Dugoni

5.0

The Seattle Police Department is selecting new recruits to join the force with a specific mandate to seek out a few women. Tracy Crosswhite is a chemistry teacher who has applied, along with another young woman. One detective on the selection committee is determined to help her fail before she graduates from the Academy.

This was short but feels like a perfect setup for what’s to come as I can’t wait to dig into the series. We get a taste of what Tracy may be facing based on the misogynistic behavior of some of the members of the department. I really like her style and she’s cool under pressure. Tracy’s also quick witted if how she handled a dicey situation in the Academy is an indicator. I listened to the story and am impressed with the narrator who will be the voice for the series. She distinguished the characters nicely, adding flavor to those who needed some. I’m definitely getting the audiobooks and am eager to get started.
