Special Inquiries by Chris Archer is a free ebook that I really have no excuse for waiting so long to review. I finally read it back in October, which was late enough a it is, but letting it linger since then without a review . . . well, let me just say this is long overdue. This is what I would describe as a romantic police thriller, one with a focus on the characters and their personal drama. We see coworkers become friends, and then watch as that friendship deepens into something else, will-they/won't-they romantic tension.
Nick, Detective Sergeant with the London Metropolitan Police, is an interesting man. He is kind of disorganized, resorts to humor in tense situations, and is given to awkward moments of deep thought. He takes a while to warm up to, but ultimately reveals himself to be a decent guy. Abi is the primary draw here, a transgender woman with Klinefelter’s Syndrome. She is sweet and smart, but a little insecure and reluctant to trust her head much less her heart to others. They make a cute pair of coworkers, close friends with a bit of a spark, but where that spark might lead is the question.
I enjoyed this quite a bit. I found the balance a bit odd, with most of the crime story crammed into the final chapters (it felt rushed), and I had a minor issue with the justification for Nick being so open-minded (not the justification itself, but the need for it), but I liked the personal aspects and I will admit to feeling rather teary-eyed at the end.

I have read this book a few times and I love it. Chris is one of the best conversation writers that I have come across and I love his characters so much that I asked him to allow one of them to make a cameo appearance in 'The Evangelist'
If you haven't read it I urge you to have a look.
