Fabulous book! Gave a real insight into what actually goes on behind the scenes. Jackie is one tough cookie and I loved reading her stories of life in the police. The sexism and homophobia that she endured is testament to the strong character she is and i applaud her. I also enjoyed the stories of how they based her on the lead character in prime suspect. Overall an interesting and intriguing read! I would definitely recommend this book it's a cracker!

A great insight into life as a female police officer. A real eye opener and it is a wonder there were any female officers around at all at this time with the attitude towards them and the way they were treated.

I loved this memoir.
She tells you how hard it was for women in the police in the 70s with racism homophobia and the problems she faced trying to get a foothold in the police.
She definitely pulls no punches,
The problems she faced as a woman trying to make a name for herself in the met in a male dominated force really shows her determination and guts

At times I held my breath trying to fathom the sheer hatred the men had for women.
I loved this book.
It makes a nice change to have it from the horses mouth, so to speak.
Its written in a matter of fact way which m\de me want to keep reading well into the night.
I highly recommend it
