Not what I expected
In some ways it’s a good read in others it’s not. It’s not been spell checked or grammar checked properly- part of the book he’s talking about his grandad as a baby and instead of his grandads name his name is used meaning it’s confusing and had to reread it couple times to get it and there’s fair few spelling and grammar errors making reading difficult. He also seriously side tracks and goes into great detail about an affair he’s had and details of what they got up to which I skipped over as I didn’t expect that in the book and not really interested. The stories about his cop life and others was good though but there’s a lot of side tracking and to me it wasn’t finished properly like some of the other books I’ve read.

Where to start. I thoroughly enjoyed the first three quarters of this book and I admit I was left wanting to continue reading. But unfortunately, I lost interest by about 75% into the book.
There were also many SPAG mistakes in this book such as missing words and sentences that just didn't make sense.
But don't get me wrong, my overall verdict is that it is a good book, just had a few mistakes that could have easily need avoided by have another read through and check.
Also, the title of the book it says I am reviewing , is completely different to the book i read and to the one that is on the "before you go" pop up. But this is not a problem.

A story of a response officer during big changes for the police.
This is an absolute mess. Not sure if this is a novel or a memoir, but problems abound either way. Characters are dropped in without introduction or explanation and chapters reveal information that hasn't actually happened in the narrative.
Try to avoid this one.
