Persons Unknown, Susie Steiner
Manon, our difficult-to-like, sexually ambivalent detective is back, but this time she is pregnant and has an adopted son. She has also reconnected with her estranged sister and will manage to drift her way into an semi-healthy relationship with a man.
Meanwhile, however, she ends up embroiled in a murder that is a little too chock-full of coincidences that involve her sister, her sister’s ex-husband, and her adopted son. Her involvement in this hard-to-believe situation gets her kicked off the case, and paves the way for an all-too-real situation where her misogynist sergeant begins to mentor and groom a less-qualified younger male cop to step into her shoes (and one presumes to eventually pass her in the line of succession).
I am enjoying the growth of the characters in this series, and I look foward to Part III…
