I think you'd like the way the boyfriend arc resolves. Another case of Fiona deciding what's right for her.
I see parallels in these books to other police stories, especially Luther and Marcella on TV, where the detective character is unstable and also relentless, and where the key to the detective's success is in having a boss who knows exactly how much leeway to give them.
I like Fiona's story the best of those three because, unlike Luther and Marcella, Fiona never becomes adrift from community. Her family gives her ballast: not enough to keep her from making those unprofessional decisions, but enough for her to reel herself back to earth when she needs to.
