I enjoy d'Amato's writing and appreciate that she does extensive research around the topic of her books. Character development and the plot are adequate in this book. This book doesn't have a higher rating because the story backs in and out of several subplots and none of them were suspenseful enough to want me to finish the book quickly to find out how the story ends.
Perhaps D'Amato was trying to portray the day-in-the-life of a cop, however, the lack of depth to each mystery leads to some pretty obvious choices of who did what and how the book would end.
White Male Infant is also an excellent D'Amato read.

Suze Figueroa, a Chicago cop, shares her creaky old Victorian house with her little boy JJ, her invalid sister and her sister's family. Streetwise and competent, Suze likes to preserve the tranquillity of their home life, safe from stress that she anticipates "on the job" everyday. So far so good. Until a serial killer comes to visit - in the attic of her home, unseen. Meanwhile Bennis, her partner and she work the killings, maybe random, showing up on their beat, working the street people & the Chicago locales where she is an expert in reading the signs. Suze is too busy to check her family's situation at home that is beginning to experience odd happenings. Baffling and deadly.
