This is the first in a series, although there were distracting references to DI Bernie's past and the fact that she was meant to be keeping a low profile in the West Country, having left London for unknown reasons. Obviously she spends the whole novel appearing at press conferences and being interviewed by the BBC, but survives unscathed.
The plot moved pretty quickly, and the following and dismissing of dead ends felt realistic, but much of the motivation felt a bit off to me.
