" This is an interesting police procedural set in England with a female detective, Anna Travis, the protagonist. While reading Blood Line, I kept thinking this could be a good made-for-TV movie in the vein of Prime Suspect (PBS). My problem was that I didn't relate to Anna. In fact, none of the main characters were fleshed out enough that I could envision them while reading. They might as well have been paper cut-out dolls. The puzzle of who was murdered and why, was the only thing that kept me reading until the end. Anna's grieving over her dead fiancee;Anna's relationship with her boss and former lover; Anna's management style with her direct reports, weren't given the attention I think they deserved to help the reader connect with these characters.
