Prime Suspect by Lynda La Plante
3.0
Not sure I liked the main character. She was quite abrasive and very obsessed with her job. She is a DCI and gets assigned to take over a murder investigation after the primary investigator dies. She actually bullies her way into the job which creates a lot of problems for those working under her. Her boss and a lot of the other police officers don't want a woman as the lead investigator and they let her know.
She is also dealing with problems in her private life as her current boyfriend is having a hard time dealing with her being so obsessed with the job and having no time for him. As she delves deeper into the investigation she finds that one of the officers has been covering up some information that puts his former boss in a bad light. She also discovers several other unsolved murders that seem to be connected to the current case. The main suspect had to be released because of no concrete evidence and she is determined to get him. The suspect is aware of the police's efforts and is quite intelligent about trying not to get caught.
