Once again this author uses over 10% of the book to advertise her other books at the end so you feel a bit robbed. I liked this story and some of The Rookie Club girls though the "club" itself really didn't feature too much. Parts seemed a little farfetched in places and at times the girls I found were pretty bitchy apart from Mackenzie so not extremely likeable. Once again this book was full of silly mistakes which for me is always an annoyance and always costs at least a star in my ratings. Repeatedly the author left off apostrophes altogether when she wrote sheriffs/chiefs, random commas were added as were hyphens and fullstops then odd words were missed out of sentences.I'm assuming Hailey's Dennig case continues in Book 2 of this series as we were left hanging regarding a resolution in this book. As the author was self-promoting at the back of this book she should have checked it as they called the second book "The Rook Club Book 2" which was pretty appalling !!I will look out for said second story, though, and hope the editing has been improved, perhaps. I'm now a huge fan of Danielle Girard ("Girard"). I really loved reading "Dead Center." The author has written a terrific story that's a total page turner that makes this novel a must read for all those who enjoy reading police procedural stories. What makes this book different from other novels of the same genre? I have to say it's the combination of well-developed and intriguing characters; the fact that there isn't just one main protagonist, but several female cops that share the forefront; the author's writing style; and the various plots/subplots mixed in together. Next on my TBR list, Girard's second novel in The Rookie Club series, "One Clean Shot."
