Why read it?
1 author picked Jasmine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story featured a cop just trying to get her job done. She’s not a saint, but she busts her backside to solve the mystery while wading through office politics.
Kate’s not perfect. She makes mistakes, but she’s got an admirable sense of determination to see justice done.
I think there’s a killer fight scene at the end of the book.
Strong language warning on this one too.
From Julie's list on The best books with sassy or determined female leads.
