Prime Suspect by Lynda La Plante
3.0

3.5* with high probability of continuing the series.
It was easier to relate with on-screen Tennison. The on-page Tennison comes of as a bit of a split-personality, which isn't a really good feel for a crime novel if it's not deliberate. She gets better as the book progresses, thank God. The camaraderie and the shift in the relationship with her coworkers was a bit too sudden for my taste. Lack nuance and subtlety all together.
The crime solving part is awesome and I have absolutely no qualms about it - even though I have seen the tv show recently and remember pretty much everything.
