The story started out slowly, which was not a bad thing as
it provided details as to the reason she was continually being overlooked for
promotion in the Babylon Police Department. We also came to learn how she met
her eccentric, but well-meaning neighbour Baba.
It showed in detail how she solved her first case with the help of Captain
Martin Smiley, who was a few days away from retirement. This was where the story heated up in terms of excitement.

The writing was good and the descriptions were vivid. Just
thinking about that lake she had to patrol gave me the shivers. The thought of
swimming in that sludge, gross!
