Line of Duty - the Real Story of British Police Corruption

Aimee Kitching 

I was really looking forward to this book as I work in the Prison service and know all the well about corruption !

Having never watched the line of duty when I read the blurb of the book it came across as though it didn't matter if you hadn't watch the television programme. 
The first half was definitely centred around the programme which despite not having watched it, it was fairly easy to pick up , but I did find It quite slow.

The second half of the books much better with real life experiences, interviews and cases which is far more up my street and what I was led to believe the book was about.

The whole book contains links to the programme which is fine , as the time states Line of Duty which was irrelevant to me really but I also found it it completely unnecessary. I didn't feel that even if you had have watched the programme it gave you anymore you didn't already know from watching it.

This 100% would have been a much higher rated book if there had been more real story and true life experiences within it
