Dr. Paula Bennett

Paula's acerbic sense of fun intertwines with her brilliant forensic brain and detail driven approach. She's sometimes mistaken for indulging in dark humour but actually it's enthusiasm for the science of the investigation. She still feels the death of her father which gives her empathy when working a crime scene but she never lets her emotions get in the way of gathering the facts. Especially when there's an unusual death with some intriguing science to investigate. Vera isn't quite sure what to make of Paula at first as she's a bit of a whirlwind. Paula is brilliant at what she does but occasionally needs reminding that not everyone's brain works at the same rate that her's does.
