Why this must be read: I love stories that feature an outsider's point of view when it's done well. This one features the police psychologist and his concerns that the members of the Major Crimes division are just a little too close for comfort. The officers are grumbling--naturally--and the psychologist is trying to do his job ... when one Blair Sandburg enters the picture and the real fun begins. It's psychology versus anthropology and Blair just steamrolling over the other man's concerns in his typically "I hear you, man" fashion. The rest of Major Crimes sits back and watches the show--more or less. It's fast-paced and funny, and Karen's Blair is breathless, brilliant, and perfectly in character.
Devon sucked in a hasty breath before the wired man used up every available scrap of oxygen in the room and tried to speak. "Actually, that isn't my most pressing concern."
Blair nodded fast and furiously. "I know, I know. It's their people skills isn't it?" Blue eyes swept the room sternly and Devon was left gaping as every person the eyes rested on cringed a little and looked slightly ashamed of themselves. Especially the man called Ellison who had a particularly ferocious reputation both within the PD and out on the streets. "Guys, c'mon, we talked about this. You have got to start listening to people. There's a time and a place for yelling and waving guns and there's a time and place for conversation. I shouldn't have to keep going over this with you, you're all college graduates for God's sake."
Read the story: So What Are You Saying?, and remember to let the author know you enjoyed it.
