Grave Danger

Rookie Club Series, Book 4

By: Danielle Girard

Narrated by: Rachel Dulude

Seventy-two guns are stolen from a San Francisco police storage facility, causing murders in the city to spike. The shooters appear unrelated - their only connection is that each uses a gun stolen from police storage. The police have no leads.

Mei Ling, recently brought in as head of the SFPD's Computer Forensics Team, recognizes a device installed in the same storage facility - one used for hacking. She's convinced this could be a new connection to help crack the case. But how?

When the bullets start flying through the window of her own home, Mei knows she's onto something. Now it's a race against time to identify the hacker. Before she becomes the next victim.

Kept me guessing for most of the book

This was a great listen! I really liked that Mei and the other women of the rookie club worked together and each other’s backs. I haven’t read/listened to the first three books but didn’t feel lost. I enjoyed reading a story about a really bright lesbian of color. I strong woman coming to terms with who she is. I would have liked to see her coming to terms earlier so a romance could really happen. I also enjoyed the narration. Overall great story.

Bathos

The ending is laugh out loud ridiculous with a coma victim awakening at the same time the perp is arrested. The Rookie club is set in San Francisco but the characters are bland and conventional. The city could be anywhere —kind of a Midwestern tourists view of it. It’s still a serviceable story to listen to while cleaning or commuting.

Disappointing...

INTERFERENCE is Book 4 in Danielle Girard's Rookie Club series. The Rookie Club is a support group whose members are young women in the San Francisco police department. The publisher's summary sets the novel, but not the series, up well. INTERFERENCE lacks the action and suspense of the three earlier novels in the series. Narration is excellent.

Not so much.

I’m not as tolerant as her parents. I found it all very distasteful. I had to keep fast forwarding through most of it.
