Oh, goody, I thought I was the only that thought this

Now McDermid is another thing. Do you think it was a Lindsey
Gordon, she was a lesbian "journalist" and this was
McDermid's first series, but her PI Kate Brannigan is truely
hard edged and shows a side to Manchester that many don't
normally see; then she also does a "forensic psychologist"
that was only two published (and Wire in the Blood was not
printed in the US except by Poison Press) and will be no
more. They were as good as the Harris books (the early
ones).
