The First Time Ever

My review -
I
think many readers of this prequel will be fierce fans of the Ted Darling
series already. I’ve only read the first but enjoyed it so much that I pre-ordered
this. We see here several firsts in Ted’s life, such as his first kill as a
firearms officer, his first meeting with Trev, his partner, the first time they
adopt a cat (rapidly followed by another six!) and his first cases in CID.
I
enjoy the characters in these books. Story and character are both important to me
and here we are given both. This was a book I struggled to put down at bedtime
and found it a gripping read. If Ted has a fault, he’s too good to be true but
I sincerely hope there are at least as many decent, kind, generous and
hard-working DIs in the force as popular fiction would have us believe there are
drunken, maverick misfits. This is one police officer I want to believe in!
