A riveting, sharply observed and thoroughly modern police procedural, Dead to Me features a stellar but unlikely female detective team, and is perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen and Deborah Crombie Detective Constable Janet Scott is subtle and reliable, a diplomatic thinker with a wry sense of humor.  She’s put in the time and seen it all, but has no desire for the boss’s job—she loves her own too much.  Rachel Bailey couldn’t be more different—she’s energetic, impulsive, and ambitious, and has just been transferred to the Manchester murder squad.  Their commander thinks Rachel’s intuition could make her a great cop, but has reservations about her shoot-first-think-later approach, so she partners her with Janet.
