Ashleigh is an EMT-a discipline I enormously respect and admire-and Kristen an undercover police officer, my very favourite kind of main character, in this case a RCMP sergeant disguised as a newly seconded constable to ferret out corruption in the Toronto metropolitan police force. The description in the blub made this book very appealing to me both for characters and setting. Michelle Teichman is never pretentious or silly-the two vices that license release of my inner wasp-nest of snarkies. And when we don’t, they’re an enormous chore, especially for a book as obviously well-intended as this one. Both can be difficult even when you actually liked the books.
The problem is that when you get them, you have a moral obligation to read them all the way through and to write a competent review. Rescue Me led to my thinking again about the whole matter of requesting Advanced Review Copies.
This is basically an attractive but tediously extended romance plot combined with a sometimes distastefully violent thriller story (the boxing match between Kristen and a really nasty male cop who was much heavier was hard to believe as well as painful to read).
