The police procedural is a name for a type of mystery which is pretty much like the name implies - it centers around a group of police officers and one or more crimes they are trying to solve. Generally there's one central case and a few others minor ones. Depending on the writer, there's also some stuff about the officers, about their home lives, their relationships, their backgrounds. It's like Law & Order or NCIS. 

Normally I like police procedurals. I've read a lot of them, set throughout the 20th century up until modern ones. My favorite authors tend to be out of print, but there are some writers who are still producing first class books.

This one was not one of them.
