Language and personal problems
Profanity detracts from what could otherwise be an interesting read. It is too prevalent in books today and is offensive to people with a substantial enough vocabulary to avoid it.
Detective Jane Perry seems to have several personality quirks apparently learned from her father.

The language and attitude of Detective Jane Perry is what makes this character so intriguing and mesmerizing in my opinion. She stands out from the multitude of characters I've read and you remember her long after the last page is turned. I appreciate her REALNESS. Profanity does not bother me if it's in context with the character and this is. And yes, Jane Perry's "personality quirks" as you call them, were learned from her father. To not read Dewey's work because you find profanity offensive is too bad. Her work is profound.
