Sex, Love & Cops: A Memoir of My Five Years as a Young Cop

De: Wendy Wilkins

Narrado por: Wendy Wilkins

A memoir, following the true story of Wendy Wilkins as she joins the police force, a naive 20-year-old cop in Melbourne, Australia and discovers many firsts: her first arrest, murder, dead body, love, cop culture and a #metoo moment.... The good the bad and the ugly of life as a cop in Melbourne Australia in the late '80s/early '90s.

A fast-paced and entertaining listen with some wonderful characters who just happen to be real. A peek inside the gritty underbelly of Melbourne's police world, through the lens of a young female cop. Wendy navigates this new world, while falling in love and being sexually awakened herself.

Vignettes in the style of Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City novella.

“I get lots of questions, like ‘A real cop? Did you carry a gun? Oh, but in Australia, not much happened there!’ Have you seen the Oscar-nominated movie, Animal Kingdom? I knew some of the real criminals portrayed in that movie, and knew the two young cops that were ambushed and killed. And yes, I carried a Smith and Wesson '38....” (Excerpt from interview with PresspassLA)

"Fun, flirty and fascinating"

This book is a great vacation listen. It went really fast. I listened to it over the long weekend and really enjoyed it. It's fun and a bit naughty too. It's so scary to think a 20 year old with 9 months training is sent out onto the streets with a gun and a badge as a police officer. I'd be interested to hear more. And it would make a great TV series.
