All the Pretty Girls (Taylor Jackson Series)

I've had Miss Ellison's book on my To Be Read shelf for awhile; now that I've finished it, I am kicking myself for having waited so long to get to it!

The first in a series of novel featuring Nashville homicide detective Taylor Jackson, "All the Pretty Girls" features a protagonist who is both a police officer and a human being the two aspects of her character never stray far from each other. Her humanity shines through in official situations, while the cop in her is never far away during interpersonal times.

PLUS this is one of the few Procedurals that I have read that actually takes into account that squads and their team members typically have more than one case at a time to concentrate on.

I already have the second book in the series "14", and am looking forward to it.

RATING: 4 1/2 stars, rounded up to 5 stars. It kept my interest and it's stayed with me even after I've picked up (and finished) a subsequent novel.
