Suspect

1st edition/1st printing

Tessa Vance is not having a happy life. The daughter of a martyred police hero, she joined the force and fought her way into a position as a Senior Detective in homicide. After two years in homicide she transferred location to be nearer her significant other who was having a significant snit because of her devotion to The Job. It’s Tessa’s birthday. An intimate dinner for two is planned. Flowers are bought. She’s wearing a low cut black dress and a pair of stiletto heels. Then the phone rings. There’s a homicide at Funworld. Leaving her lover, her dinner and her flowers she faces her first case on the new job, her superior on the force and her new partner in stiletto heels and full face makeup. However, Tessa brazens it out. The character of Tessa Vance was created for an Australian TV series, but the book is more than an adaptation of a TV script into a novel. Jennifer Rowe created the story line herself so she can tell the story in more depth here. The book is not as strong as the Verity Birdsong series, but it is quite entertaining.
