[Review] The Right Wrong Thing by Ellen Kirschman #Giveaway
The Right Wrong Thing
Hardcover
Officer Randy Spelling had always wanted to be a police officer, to follow in the footsteps of her brothers and her father. Not long after joining the force, she mistakenly shoots and kills Lakeisha Gibbs, a pregnant teenager. The community is outraged; Lakeisha’s family is vocal and vicious in their attacks against Spelling. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and filled with remorse, Randy is desperate to apologize to the girl’s family. Everyone, including the police chief, warns her against this, but the young police officer will not be dissuaded. Her attempt is catastrophic. Dr. Dot Meyerhoff, police psychologist, plunges herself into the investigation despite orders from the police chief to back off. Not only does the psychologist’s refusal to obey orders jeopardize her career, but her life as well, as she enlists unlikely allies and unconventional undercover work to expose the tangled net of Officer Spelling’s disastrous course.

My Review
It has been so long since I have read a hard cover book, eBooks are a way of life for me now, but I thoroughly enjoyed picking up this book to delve into the story that Ellen Kirschman has created for us.
This story follows Office Randy Spelling as she becomes a rookie in the police force and Dr Dot Meyerhoff has just signed her off as being fit for duty.
Not long after she starts Officer Spelling accidentally shoots an pregnant teenage which sends everything spiralling out of control after she tries to apologise to the parents.
I loved the fact that this was told from the psychologists view, and that she was an older lady. It was a refreshing change to the New and young adults genre I have been reading as of late. It gripped me from the start and the little twists and turns made this an interesting read.
This will keep you hooked from the starts and there are even a few moments when I was like “Dot what are you doing!?”.
Loved it!
