About this listen

Quitting her job as a high school science teacher to join the Seattle Police Department was an easy decision for Tracy Crosswhite. Years earlier, what should have been one of the happiest days of her life instead became her worst nightmare when her younger sister, Sarah, disappeared. After the murder trial, while her family disintegrated, Tracy turned her heartbreak and her lingering questions into a passion for justice.

But people don't just become world-class detectives. If Tracy wants to uncover the truth about what happened to her sister, first she must be forged in the fires of the Police Academy, where not everyone wants her to succeed.

I enjoyed the story but not the attitude of the male chauvenist

Really enjoyed this intro to the series. The reviews complaining about the length of this book must have been written by people who could not read as it was made quite clear this was a short story! Tracheostomy going to be a strong character and the chauvinist will no doubt continue to get his comeuppance. Looking forward to the series.
