I bought this book with the original title, The Girl for The Job. Because I was writing my own book, I decided to wait on reading. As my book was nearing its final formatting processes, I ordered the audible - Undercover Copper. On my daily walks I found myself captivated by this true crime memoir of Danni’s undercover life with London’s Metropolitan Police. The narrator had me believing it was Danni telling me her adventures, her undercover life, her personal defeats and triumphs. Absolutely recommend this book for anyone interested in the real world of police undercover, especially young women looking for a similar career and older women who dreamed of entering law enforcement but for varying life reasons never pursued their dream. I’m glad I waited to read this book, as I found many similarities in our careers, yet was fascinated with how undercover work was handled in London compared with the United States. I’d love to meet Danni, compare UC stories and the quirky aspects of our careers. I hope more women in law enforcement will share their stories.

Listened on audiobook with intention to get a bit more of an idea what James might encounter in the future.

The narration was identical to Juno Temple which just kept me listening tbh. It was a really easy voice to listen to.

I’d never made the connection between the author and Hunted, but genuinely really enjoyed the book. Loads of amazing stories and a bit of insight into police work.

Enjoyed!
