About this listen

Rookie detective Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened on the force. Over the past eight years there have been six victims - all women from similar backgrounds, all killed in an identical way. Then a seventh body is found, but this one doesn't fit the pattern.

Anna is determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, and find justice for the victims, but when a vital piece of information links a high-profile suspect to the killings she is faced with a difficult choice. As a figure in the public eye, his arrest would cause a media frenzy. But if he is innocent, Anna's hard-fought-for reputation would be destroyed once and for all.

I had forgotten how good a spinner of suspenseful tales Lynda La Plante is... Though I'm sure I have read all her books and wayched many on the screen, I was surprised how little I had retained and I really enjoyed it.
Well narrated too. A great experience!

A good read

Great characters. La Plante creates rich, nuanced, very real characters who you care about & want to spend time with. The forensic details were a bit too much & seemed uneccasary as they didn't contribute to the story but just seemed ghoulish. The narrator was very good & managed the multiple character accents well. A hghly enjoyable listen.

Great characters. Masterfully written.
